Kennewick voters have apparently rejected a sales tax that would have funded a $35 million expansion of the Three Rivers Convention Center in the Aug. 2 primary.

A sales tax request to upgrade Kennewick’s Three Rivers Convention Center was still failing with the latest ballot count Thursday.

Kennewick voters were rejecting the Kennewick Public Facilities District’s request for a two-tenths of a percent sales tax increase by 53 percent to 47 percent.

The next update will be at 4 p.m. Friday. Benton County estimates there are 2,000 ballots left to count. The turnout for the Aug. 2 primary was 30 percent.
