Mayor Broome proposes a $120m hotel-convention project at Baton Rouge River Center, requiring Metro Council approval.

Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome's plan for revising Baton Rouge's River Center includes constructing a hotel adjacent to the venue as a potential convention headquarters. The $120m public-private partnership project requires a timely approval process from the Metro Council. The development plan follows previous support for a $300m arena project near LSU campus. The proposal involves creating a Project Oversight Committee and a project management team to guide the revival process.
