Explanation
(This amendment provides $5,000,000 each year from the general fund to City of Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau to assist in the construction of a new convention center to replace the Pavilion Convention Center. The first phase of the building opened in summer 2005 and the total facility will be completed in early 2007. The larger, more modern facility will help place Virginia on the map as a viable convention state.)
