New Braunfels Kongresshalle Convention Center rises with 50 events booked
The New Braunfels chamber will rent the expanded center as its 50 scheduled events fill the 50,000 square foot facility. City bonds of 10.5 million were approved in July 2006 for renovations to the 36 year old civic center with about eight million from the bond paid over 20 years by hotel motel tax proceeds. Construction began in August with tilt wall construction and pipework over the past seven months. Completion targeted for spring 2008 with limited closures during work. Parking exists at two lots near Garden Street and Castell Avenue.
