OP you don't happen to know if the NYC Motorcycle show is here is it?

Governor plans to tear down newly renovated Jacob Javits Center, NY Auto Show home


New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has big plans for the Jacob K. Javits Center. The politician recently announced plans to tear down the convention hall to make way for housing, hotels and museums. The remainder of the land would then be leased to developers as an additional source of income for the state. That comes as a shock to architect Bruce S. Fowle, who has been renovating the structure for the past six years, working to turn the 25-year-old structure into a brighter space with a smaller environmental footprint.

While the proposed demolition is still years away if it occurs at all, the plan brings into question the future of the New York Auto Show. Cuomo says the conventions like the auto show that are currently hosted by the Jacob K. Javits Center will be relocated to a new $4 billion center at the Aqueduct racetrack in Jamaica, Queens. The funds will reportedly come from Genting, a Malaysian gambling company, according to The New York Times.

Yes it was held at Jacob Javits Convention Center I work there, the Governor proposed plan is years away for now. Only in New York will they spend over 500 million dollars to refurbish facility only to tear it down. The new Convention center would be located in Queens, NY and would be 3 million sq ft with casino and hotel on property.
