There was strong praise from most Dallas city council members Wednesday for women and minority-owned business participation in the construction contract for a new convention center.

Only City Council Member Cara Mendelsohn, who opposed the new convention center plan all along, voted against the contract Wednesday.

Mendelsohn objected to the design-build method that leaves many details about the project unclear and subject to cost increases as the contractor completes the design and construction progress.
