ARLINGTON, TX—Arlington's mayor, Robert Cluck says developers are hoping to lure a top- shelf hotel and a new entertainment venue to the city's entertainment district.
Arlington has been working since 2008 to attract a private developer to expand the Convention Center on Ballpark Way and to develop a hotel nearby, according t a report in the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. Those additions would help the city attract larger meetings and conventions to the center as well as entice tourists visiting Arlington's sporting venues or theme parks to stay in town overnight instead of leaving for Dallas or Fort Worth hotels, Cluck told the paper.
“We've been working to get a new hotel in the entertainment district,” he said. “That's no secret. We're finally once again making progress on that front.
