Description

Description

The project involves the expansion of the Bloomington Convention Center located south of 3rd Street between College Avenue and Walnut Street, along with the development of a host hotel. Construction of the convention center expansion is underway with completion expected around early 2027. However, there is no finalized deal for the host hotel, which is expected to open no earlier than 2029. The Bloomington Redevelopment Commission (RDC) is considering donating city-owned land (the former Bunger & Robertson property) to help bridge the funding gap for the hotel development. The project faces financial challenges, including a significant public subsidy requirement for the host hotel, and efforts are being made to reduce costs and secure funding.
