The people who own and operate businesses in downtown Sioux Falls are optimistic about where our city is headed, but they’re also practical. They know a healthy downtown takes investment, customers and a steady flow of people who have a reason to be there. That’s why I believe discussion about a modern downtown convention center should be part of the larger conversation we’re having about the future of Sioux Falls.
At first, a convention center sounds like a facility that simply serves people attending meetings and conventions. But what happens around a convention center is just as important as what happens inside the building.
