Augusta Convention & Visitors Bureau Purchases 1010 Broad Street
Friday, December 9th, 2016
The Augusta Convention & Visitors Bureau has purchased a building at 1010 Broad Street. The Augusta CVB and Augusta Sports Council will be relocating their offices from Enterprise Mill to 1010 Broad Street; the Augusta Visitor Center will also be relocating from 560 Reynolds Street to the main floor of the new building.
The Augusta CVB has chosen Studio 3 Design Group based out of Augusta, GA, to design the corporate office space for the CVB and ASC. Howard + Revis, an exhibit design firm from Washington, DC, will be designing the new Visitor Center.
“We are thrilled to be moving to Broad Street where we will have a significant presence for visitors, meeting attendees, and residents,” said President/CEO Barry White. “Downtown Augusta is growing, and with the recent announcements of two new hotels in downtown, this is the perfect opportunity for the CVB to be a part of the exciting transformation happening in Augusta.”
As part of the Augusta CVB’s strategic plan, the Board of Directors tasked the organization with finding a permanent location for the Visitor Center. Over the last several years, the Augusta CVB has been looking at buildings and land in the central business district.
“Plans to relocate to a more visible downtown location have been many years in the making and we’re glad to see it finally come to fruition,” said White.
The Augusta CVB plans to be in the new building by January 2018.
