Council approves Convention Center design supplement and GMP 2 to start major construction work

The Dallas City Council on Feb. 25 approved a pair of supplemental agreements to advance the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center master plan into active demolition and early construction phases. The council authorized an architectural supplemental to Perkins and Will for additional design work — including green‑space crossovers over I‑30 and a geothermal design study — and accepted GMP 2 with the construction manager at‑risk joint venture for major early‑works construction.
