TERRE HAUTE, Ind.  – More details are now known about future plans for a convention center in downtown Terre Haute.

The Vigo County Capital Improvement Board plans on using a site near 8th Street and Wabash Avenue, stretching from 9th Street to the east and Cherry Street to the north.

A portion of the land to be used will be donated by Greg Gibson and he plans on building a hotel adjacent to the center.

Plans call for a combination of a renovated state office building and new construction.

To make the convention center happen, the board will ask the city to vacate 8th Street between Wabash and Cherry Streets.

Since Gibson has a personal interest in the development he stepped down from his position on the Capital Improvement Board Tuesday.
