Jefferson City Regional Economic Partnership CEO Luke Holtschneider, at left, Ward 4 Councilman Randy Wright and Mayor Ron Fitzwater look on as Jefferson City Administrator Brian Crane talks about the importance of a convention center in Jefferson City. He noted its proximity to the Missouri Capitol will be perfect for the construction of a center, parking garage, interior shops and more.
New plans for a conference center, hotel and parking garage just two blocks from the Missouri State Capitol were announced Tuesday atop the municipal parking garage and near the News Tribune offices where the new development would be located.
Jefferson City Mayor Ron Fitzwater stood atop the fifth floor of the Madison Street municipal parking garage with the Governor’s Office building and the state Capitol behind him and outlined the potential future for the half-block in the heart of downtown Jefferson City.
Fitzwater said the city plans to contract developers to build the center with hotel space and parking garage attached.
“As we bounced ideas around, it became very clear that this might be a very dynamic piece of property to do a convention center, do a really nice hotel and the garage,” Fitzwater said.
