## Resource

Jefferson City Council gears up for a pivotal special session Monday night to fast-track a major downtown development: a $130 million conference center, hotel, and parking garage led by a Texas firm. With regular meetings on hold, the council must act now—next session isn’t until July 20. Key votes include a $185K branding contract, a $385K model hotel room build (due by Nov 1), and pushing back key deadlines to Sept 30 for agreements and Oct 15 for funding. They’ll also appoint bond counsel and hire a firm to audit revenue projections, plus vote on leasing a cell tower at Ellis-Porter Riverside Park—all to ensure this big project stays on track.
