Nola.com reports that starting this summer, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center will embark on a five-year, $557 million plan to upgrade the facility and surrounding areas, including the construction of a 7.5-acre pedestrian park along Convention Center Boulevard. The plan rekindles talks for a new 1,200-room Convention Center hotel, an addition long sought by hospitality leaders.
