complex, Police Headquarters, Fire Headquarters and the new Hotel. The capacity of the plant will

chillers and 2 boilers.
Benefits: Critical pieces of existing equipment in the Central Plant are from 20 to 40 years old and must be
replaced. Additionally, with the pending expansion of the Tucson Convention Center and the addition of
the new Hotel nearby, locating additional heating and cooling equipment within the Central Plant to
support those facilities will reduce the cost of those investments. The hotel and TCC will be able to reduce
the size, cost and complexity of their projects by concentrating the shared heating and cooling equipment
with the Central Plant.

Fiscal Year $4,433,037 $3,376,987 $8,900 $1,047,149

existing east exit galleria, the addition of two (2) new escalators and an elevator adjacent to the existing
galleria exit stairs, a 4,890 s.f. exterior porte cochere (driveway entrance), necessary associated HVAC
and life safety improvements, as well as an enhanced 254 space parking lot including new lighting,
curbing and landscaping. With these improvements those with physical challenges will be able to enter
the Convention Center for the first time from the east side.
Benefits: The primary emphasis of this project is to create access at the west entrance for the construction of the
new Convention Center Hotel, and the Civic Center parking garage components. All components when
completed will enable the TCC to move from serving primarily local consumer show and civic events to a
competitive venue that attracts regional conventions and tradeshows from the $100 billion meetings
industry.
The Tucson Convention Center Headquarters Hotel and Expanded Convention Center will anchor Tucson
as a world-class city and help retain the Gem and Mineral Shows’ $100 million boost to our region, by
being a catalyst for development of adjacent retail, food, and entertainment outlets. The Tucson Modern
Street Car system when constructed will ensure that these amenities co-relate to the University of
Arizona, 4th Avenue and Maingate retail experiences, museums, theaters, historic reconstruction, and our
distinctive residential areas.
This effort will positively impact the region as it significantly increases local and permanent jobs, and
preserves existing tourism and convention center guests, and exposes thousands of new visitors to
Tucson. The impact of extra visitor dollars will elevate shopping, entertainment, live, work, and play
opportunities in a vibrant downtown setting for all of the inhabitants of the Tucson Metropolitan region.
