Inspire Dallas, the new convention center’s project manager, says talks are “preliminary and ongoing.”

A firm overseeing the rebuild of Dallas’ downtown convention center says the city is considering buying part of the former Dallas Morning News property for the estimated $3 billion reconstruction project.

Jane Hope Hamilton, spokeswoman for the project manager, Inspire Dallas, told The News that her firm spoke to former DMN site owner Ray Washburne in January to explore a land deal.
