April 2011 Downtown Dimension Highlights

Here are my notes from the latest edition of Downtown Dimension:

• Business Improvement District fees are being slightly raised to help offset the loss of funds from the RDA.
• The convention center is a go and will include 125k sqft of new construction, new chillers, new boilers, new cooling towers, new fire alarm and building management systems, and a $20m renovation of existing "front-of-house" public spaces.
• Cinequest rakes in a record 91,000 attendees!
• Liquid Agency is doubling their office space in SoFA.
• Works moved to a new SoFA location at 365 Market.
