The city and state will pay a combined $1 million in taxpayer dollars to bring the event to Dallas.
DALLAS — This weekend, the National Rifle Association of America will hold its 153rd NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Dallas.
The event was last held in Dallas in 2018. This year, there will be more than 600 exhibitors covering 14 acres of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in guns and gear shows. Craig Davis, president and CEO of Visit Dallas, said the incentives won't be paid until the end of the program, once total business is determined.
The state funding comes from the State of Texas' Event Trust Fund program, which attracts events and meetings to the state by offsetting upfront costs for organizers who host their event in Texas. Still unclear is the amount of money the city will spend as Dallas police officers provide extra security for the event.
