Study: There's demand for new convention center in downtown Muskegon | MLive.com:

"MUSKEGON, MI – A study presented Thursday, Nov. 6 shows there is now sufficient demand to justify building a conference center in downtown Muskegon.

The draft results of a $44,500 study paid for by Muskegon County were presented to Muskegon County Commissioners and members of the Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee.

....said there were two likely scenarios for building:
1. A convention center owned and operated by a public entity, such as Muskegon County.
The facility would cost roughly $24 million to build and would benefit the county's economy by $17 million in terms of dollars spent by visitors from outside of the area.
The facility would cost about $1.5 million to maintain per year.
2. A smaller convention center owned by the county but operated by a private entity under a lease agreement.
The facility would cost somewhere in the ballpark of $15 million and pump an estimate 10.6 million per year into the local economy.
The facility would cost about $600,000 to maintain per year.
"I think that both of these have merit," Krueger said."
