Greenville Needs a New Convention Center
This week I had a chance to attend an event at the Greenville Convention Center for the Home Builders Association of Greenville. It’s located in a warehouse district area close to the downtown airport in Greenville. The building itself is fine, however, the location is not particularly appealing for the kinds of bigtime events that I think could be attracted to Greenville. There are no other venues near by such as bars or restaurants. Greenville is evaluating building a new convention center in downtown Greenville along the Reedy River. This is something that we need to do. We need to work with the state and find the money.
What to do then about the existing space? I’m not sure. Maybe it becomes a big warehouse. I don’t know. But when you think about how cool downtown Greenville is and how beautiful Greenville-Spartanburg International (GSP) is, I think it’s time they build a gorgeous new convention center.
