The Osceola County Convention Center was made possible by an innovative developer selection mechanism, devised by Conventional Wisdom, which allowed the County to achieve its long-sought goal of having a major convention facility. The selection process required developers to provide sufficient land for the facility, its future expansion, necessary parking, and a 600- to 800-room headquarters hotel. The developer had to commit to design and build the convention center and hotel facilities, operate the hotel and had the option to operate the convention center. The County provided funds to cover the cost of developing the convention center and its related site expenditures.
