The FCCFA is a public authority responsible for the development and operation of the Greater Columbus Convention Center in downtown Columbus, Ohio. As owner/developer of the convention center, the FCCFA is responsible for the improvement, management and successful operation of the facility and related properties. The downtown hotel community, Experience Columbus (the convention and visitors bureau), and SMG (the manager of the convention center) have indicated that the number one priority for improving the competitiveness of Columbus as a convention destination is the existence of a 1,000-room full service convention hotel near the convention center. Constructed in 2010, the Hilton Columbus Downtown currently has 532 rooms. To achieve the goal of having a 1,000-room full-service convention hotel, the FCCFA and its partners have determined it is in the Greater Columbus communitys best interest to construct an approximately 463+/--room expansion of the Hilton Columbus Downtown.
