Webb notes demolition of Currigan Hall will be completed next month, allowing the expansion of the Colorado Convention Center to move forward.

Denver Convention & Visitors Bureau officials have been seeking a completion date from the city on the expansion for well over a year because conventions are often booked several years in advance.

Denver voters approved the expansion of the Colorado Convention Center in November 1999. The expansion will more than double the size from the current 1 million sf to 2.4 million sf and will generate more than $542 million in direct and indirect induced spending in the local economy, adding $5.8 million to the $9.4 annually in revenues to the city coffers.
