An initial site study shows room for convention space and hotels at the Riverline site.

A volunteer group working on next steps for the proposed Riverline District has paused its work while looking for community buy-in and partner organizations to help move a conversation forward involving a new convention center.

The proposed convention center would offer more than twice as much space as the Sioux Falls Convention Center, with 135,000 net usable square feet versus 60,510 square feet. The largest contiguous space would be 75,000 square feet versus 50,400 square feet.
