The challenge with convention centres is they are a little bit like arenas or stadiums. When there's something going on, they bring a lot of people to an area. When there isn't, a convention centre is basically a big sprawling dead zone. I'd like to see some media dig up just how busy the WCC actually is now -- and what specific events it thinks it will attract with a bigger centre. I've walked through there a fair bit, both on weekdays and weekends, and often there are just a couple small meeting rooms booked (events are posted on a board).
All of this to say that I hope there is more than just more convention space to this project -- and it sounds like that is the aim.
