Redefine a term under the Convention Center Facility Financing Assistance Act

LB 1192 amends the Convention Center Facility Financing Assistance Act to clarify how "associated hotels" and "nearby retailers" are defined when facilities are within 600 yards of the State Capitol in Lincoln. The key change allows applicants to select contiguous or noncontiguous areas within their jurisdiction that match the required square footage (instead of measuring strictly from the facility perimeter), making it easier to include nearby businesses in financing eligibility. This directly affects convention center projects seeking state assistance near the Capitol, streamlining administrative requirements for measuring proximity.
