City leaders are expected to learn more about the progress being made on repairs to the Raleigh Convention Center following a fire there last month.
The blaze broke out on Dec. 1 and caused an estimated $2 million in damages, according to Raleigh Fire Chief Herbert Griffin.
According to Raleigh authorities, the fire was started by a gas leak. City leaders said the roof of the convention center suffered fire and water damage and needed to be repaired, with Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell saying the convention center would need some time to get reopened to the public on a normal basis.
The fire caused many events to be postponed at the venue, including Animate! Raleigh which was originally planned for this weekend.
City documents show the city spent more than $1.1 million on repairs already. More than a dozen additional recovery projects are still needed, including installing a new roof.
The Raleigh City Council will vote Tuesday night on whether to give the city manager the authority to enter into contracts of any value during the recovery period.
