Proposed $200 million convention center in Vegas
AeroQuest USA is marketing and seeking investors for a $200 million, one million-square-foot International Trade and conference Center to be built on 200 acres west of Henderson Airport.
"Using a concept similar to the plan to develop downtown Las Vegasn World Market Center, AeroQuestUSA looks to build an exhibition center for year-round display of aerospace and defense industry products," writes Vegas.inc.
Lisa DeRiso-Mayo, who helped market the World Market Center concept, said the $200 million International Trade and Conference Center would use the same business model. It would also be dedicated to a niche industry.
Downtown’s World Market Center is a master-planned campus with several buildings dedicated to a year-round display of furniture products. It hosts major exhibition events, drawing more than 50,000 people.
The International Trade and Conference Center would be the fourth-largest exhibition facility in Southern Nevada, just short of the 1.2 million-square-foot Sands Expo & Convention Center. The Las Vegas Convention Center is the largest, with 2.3 million square feet.
The aerospace and defense industry is among the sectors the state’s Board of Economic Development vis encouraging to diversify Nevada’s economy.
DeRiso-Mayo, business development director for AeroQuestUSA, said the project is in its early stages. The company is seeking investors and letters of interest.
A study commissioned by the US Commerce Department found that 81% of aerospace companies were interested in a permanent exhibition site in the US.
