Construction on the new Branson Landing waterfront entertainment district redevelopment project on Branson’s Lake Taneycomo lakefront is well underway with completion scheduled for Spring of 2006. The waterfront entertainment, retail, and luxury condominium development will cover 95 acres and over 1.5 miles of waterfront along the lake shore.<\/FONT><\/P>

A large town square that can accommodate up to 4,000 people will be the center piece of the development and provide the most direct access to the 1 mile boardwalk that will run along Lake Taneycomo. The town square will be the gathring place for various outdoor events and concerts.<\/FONT><\/P>

It will be one of the best areas from which to view the spectacular water and light show that will take place multiple times each evening. The show and its fountains are designed by Wet Design, the same company that produced the Bellagio water show in Las Vegas.<\/FONT><\/P>

Branson’s new convention center and hotel will be conveniently located, to the Branson Landing entertainment district, in historic downtown Branson. Recently, the Branson Board of Aldermen made the decision to expand the size of the convention center.<\/FONT><\/P>

<\/FONT><\/P>
\n

The entire convention center will be 213,000 square feet of which 23,000 square feet will be ballroom, and 50,000 square feet exhibit hall. The ball room can be divided into junior, mid size, and a grand ballroom. The combined ballroom and exhibit hall could accommodate approximately 379 exhibit booths.<\/FONT><\/P>

\n

The stated purpose of the expansion is to make the new convention center more competitive with the ball room capacity of competing venues. The ballroom for The Chateau on the Lake’s Great Hall is 31,744 square feet and the University Plaza in Springfield has a ballroom of 21,600 square feet. Prior to the expansion the Branson facility had a ballroom of 18,000 square feet.<\/FONT><\/P>

The convention center is scheduled to open during 2007.<\/FONT><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
