Westport Festival Phase 1 is fairly well documented. There are also hints that of a "phase 2" being planned to the west of Camp Manitou Rd on the north side of Portage. Also, in some of the Plan Winnipeg, or similar documents, it was disclosed that to the immediate west of the Westport site is set aside for future residential development.
To the immediate north of Westport Festival is where Red River Ex is planning to build the Argri-industry campus with the first building already in place. To the immediate north of that, around where the farmer's market is currently held would seem to be the likely place for some of the other plans that group has such as the the theater and conference space.
The final piece there would seem to be what will happen to the space to the west of Assiniboine Downs, with the expansions of CentrePort Canada Way and the truck traffic it will pull off the existing route along Portage Ave a large truck stop would seem to make sense. Having something like that on the Assiniboine Downs land would seem to make sense with the overall flow of traffic in the area.

I cant wait to see this area come to life, more than just in June!
Hm, crazy idea, but would anyone wanna create a Commodore 64 gaming museum in Winnipeg? As a tourist trap perhaps?
