wkyc.com, Panel: Tower City Convention Center/Medical Mart site is cheaper

CLEVELAND -- A Medical Mart and Convention Center built behind Tower City and in the old Higbee building is significantly cheaper than at the present convention center site.

That's what a panel evaluating and crunching the numbers is expected to tell Cuyahoga County Commissioners.

Forest City downsized and made over its proposal in recent weeks. The revised cost is about $460 million. The lower figure makes it the panel's recommended location.

The cost to put the project at the present Convention Center location is far in excess of $500 million, topping out at between $560 million and $610 million.
