Council Presidents Statement on Convention Center Decision
SAN DIEGO (August 26, 2014) Council President Todd Gloria released the following statement
after the San Diego City Councils vote not to appeal the recent court ruling against the financing
plan for the Convention Center expansion.
The District Courts decision is a blow to our plans to create jobs, keep Comic-Con and
expand our convention business. While I disagree with the ruling, pursuing further
litigation is not likely to achieve results for San Diego. I remain a stalwart supporter of the
expansion of our Convention Center for its economic and civic benefits. The City Council
will be a full participant in revised financing plans to ensure a project is completed, said
Council President Gloria.
