Downtown arena district agreement framework approved
Based on the guidelines established on April 6, this week Council approved an agreement framework with the Katz Group for a downtown arena and entertainment district. I supported taking this step to further the project, and while this is not a binding or final agreement, it does reaffirm commitments from the City and Katz Group, and it allows both to pursue funding sources for the remaining portion of the arena budget. This project has the potential to contribute to the revitalization already underway in our downtown. A more vibrant core will benefit our City greatly.
