Mission complete: Event center underway

​​​MISSION – The ​groundbreaking of the new event center will be part of an effort to bring in more revenue for the City of Mission​.

The 40,000-sf facility will include an 18,000-sf ballroom, which can be broken up into seven different conference areas, a 10,000-sf lobby, and a 15,000-sf patio.

Work on the $16 million facility is scheduled to take approximately 385 days.​

The location of the new center will be located off Shary Rd. and Victoria Ave. serving as a space for city and community events as well as private parties.

The event center is just one component of the project.

The other two parts are a 750,000-gallon water tower and 19 acres purchased by the Mission Economic Development Corporation, which will be for future development of retail, hotels and restaurants.​
