City council approves millions to buy part of former Dallas Morning News campus
KERA | By Nathan Collins
The Dallas City Council voted to spend up to $51 million to acquire part of the old Dallas Morning News campus near Reunion Tower. That includes over 200,000 square feet of the campus, according to city documents.
The two items are billed as being part of the city’s multi-billion-dollar revamp of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
But the council’s agenda materials say little about how the former Morning News land adds into the equation. The two plots are along Houston and Young Streets in downtown adjacent to the convention center, Reunion Tower and City Hall.
