Last November, Dallas residents voted in favor of Proposition A, a hotel occupancy tax that is raising revenue to fund $1.5 billion in improvements to the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center and $300 million to Fair Park, creating 50,000 jobs in the process. Dallas is one of a few cities across the country using this innovative form of revenue generation to enhance its existing public venues and spark economic revitalization in historically neglected areas. This program will delve into how this ballot measure manifested and passed, discuss plans moving forward, and present opportunities for continued public-private partnerships to support these efforts.
