AMARILLO, TEXAS -- The Downtown Amarillo Incorporated Board met today with a number of items on its agenda, but the main focus seemed to be the Civic Center.
The board discussed expanding the Civic Center to accommodate more venues.
Especially more seating for concerts and conventions that have bypassed Amarillo in the past.
It's something the D.A.I. has hopes of changing soon.
"Looking at the Civic Center needs is very important as we look at what the needs are for the Civic Center area to attract conventions in particular, so that's going to be an important part of looking at all these projects and analysing what's needed, what the priorities are to get the most benefit out of the investment," said Mellisa Dailey of Downtown Amarillo Inc.
The board also showed how the downtown design standards have progressed, and Dailey said people are excited about what the standards are doing for their investment and they are not having a negative impact.
