Allen: Convention Center

Postby jrd1964 » 08 May 2018 13:51

Allen's upcoming convention center, at US 75/Bethany across from the Watters Creek development, will contain 90,000 square feet of meeting space (the article touts it as the biggest between Dallas and Oklahoma) and will be adjacent to a Delta by Marriott hotel which is being built. The complex is due to open later this year.

Allen is kicking it right now, maybe it has become the "go to" destination on the east side of the northern burbs.
