Sportsguy9695 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 The Seattle City Council has approved a plan to build a new arena in the city's SODO district. The vote was 6 to 2 in favor of the project led by Chris Hansen. The plan calls for $200 million in public investment, but construction will not begin until it passes an environmental review and Hansen purchases an NBA team. “Council staff, lawyers and councilmembers have worked hard to produce an agreement that protects the city, charts the right site review process and secures appropriate public benefits,” said Council President Sally J. Clark. “Today’s vote closes one phase of tasks and begins another, including work on how we plan for a bright future at Seattle Center.” Source: Real GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
