Largest gem show threatens to leave Tucson if progress doesn’t start happening

I found this older news story posted back in October 9th of 2009 by azbiz.com

It seems that Douglas Hucker, chief executive of the American Gem Trade Association, said his show, which has been held at the Tucson Convention Center since 1991, could relocate as early as February 2011.
