The project should be financed with public and private funds and include 125,000 square feet for the convention center, 275 hotel rooms and a 1,000-vehicle parking garage, the News and Tribune of Jeffersonville reported.
One potential site is the former Colgate-Palmolive Co. toothpaste plant. The historic building was closed last month and features a 50-foot clock facing the Ohio River.
The notion of a convention center has been batted around in Jeffersonville for a couple of decades. Nearby New Albany also has considered the idea. Both cities are located across the Ohio River from Louisville.
