Washington State Convention Center Addition [May Breakfast Meeting]

Matt Griffin, Managing Partner, Pine Street Group, will talk about the project, addressing questions such as: 

  • How do we think about this?
  • Who pays for it?
  • Why do it?
  • What is it? 

The WSCC Addition is anticipated to bring significant economic benefits to the region, including:

  • 2,300 new permanent jobs
  • 1,600 additional jobs supported by increased convention business
  • As many as 6,000 workers employed during construction
  • $200 million (estimated) per year in spending from visitors
  • $35 million (est.) from residents
  • Plus $17 million in annual tax revenue

Over 26 years of operations, out-of-state attendees have spent over $5.1 billion as part of WSCC events. In fiscal 2014, this spending directly generated 3,579 jobs and added an average of $848,417 per day to Washington's economy.
