THE AMERICAN FLAG

IS NOT JUST A SYMBOL 30 VOLUME 26, NUMBER 21 An Award Winning Weekly Newspaper Thursday, October 19, 2017 City Wants To Add To Convention Center Editorial By Jon A. Brake At Tuesday night’s Manhat- tan City Commission Meeting the Convention and Visitors Bureau gave a report to the Commission that recommends adding to the Manhattan Con- vention Center on 4th Street in Downtown Manhattan. As reported in the Free Press the City of Manhattan does not own the Convention Center. They deeded the property over to the Hilton Garden Inn Hold- ing Company several years ago. Hilton Garden Inn or the Holding pays $100,000 a year for 20-years. The City built the Center in 2009 - 10 for a little more than $10 million. Without owning the property, the City is still making payments of $700,000 Hilton Garden Inn per year and will until 2034.
