The renovation of the old Regency Inn(Holiday Inn Express) on Broad street is moving forward. Great addition to both Lower Broad and the entrance of Olde Town. The Tee Center is definitely responsible for bringing in new private investment.

Augusta Convention Center has 20 events lined up | The Augusta Chronicle

Those in charge of filling up the new Augusta Convention Center have locked in 20 events so far, and the tourism impact is about $12 million. Most of those – 17 conventions – happen this year. And there’s seven more in the tentative booking stage.

The 38,000-square-foot addition has been under construction for more than two years and will hold its first event Feb. 24 with a bridal show, Brides & Bouquets. The number of attendees that account for that $12 million visitor-spending impact is 23,000. Leech said the impact will go up another $10 million if the tentative events sign on the dotted line, and add 17,000 more people to what’s going to fill the convention center.
