The June 7 banner across page one exclaims “Center gets occupancy permit” and goes on to report that an official opening date is expected to be announced on Wednesday.
WATCHDOG: This may turn out to be the unusual case of “Better never than late!” However, a wag of the tail for the current board of the Convention Center Authority and all those who have pooled their talent and labor to construct the project.
Since the furniture is to be delivered this coming week, we estimate a full two weeks, working double shifts, for the hotel and convention center to be barely ready for guests by June 21st. This is just in time for the Pennsylvania League of Cities and Municipalities’ annual convention of June 24-26.
Talk about a close!
