Plans are in the works for a new convention center in Sugar Land as the city tries to reach goals laid out in its vision for the future.

The convention center is the fourth item in the city's Vision 2025 document, put together in 2007 and 2008. It includes plans for five significant additions to the cityscape.

A minor league baseball field has already been completed, construction has been approved for a new 6,500-seat performing arts center and voters have approved a festival site along the Brazos River.

The convention center is in its early stages, but Sugar Land's director for economic development Regina Morales said it is exciting.

"We are about a month away from engaging a firm to do market analysis," Morales said. "With that we will see, number one, will the market support it and, if yes, then how would it work financially?"

Morales said the analysis could take four or five months, but they will have a better idea of the potential of a convention center within about three months.

Constellation Field baseball park opened in 2012. The new performing arts center will sit on a 38.5-acre plot in the Telfair commercial district southeast of U.S. 59 and University Boulevard.

The addition of a convention center and a festival site would leave only one of the original 5 ideas left on the table. That would be a cultural arts center, which Morales said will become the focus after the current projects are completed.

"We are very fortunate in Sugar Land, we have good leaders, good planning," Morales said. "We started as a sugar plantation, then in the '80s master planned communitities started being built, then the corporations moved in and development hasn't stopped since then."
