Javits gets bigger – but not big enough?

The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is expanding, but not as much as some want because of a lack of more public funding and not enough to place New York City’s largest convention space among the nation’s biggest.

But that still puts the Javits Center well behind Chicago’s 2.9-million-square-foot McCormick Place. more [Sun]
