Message: [QUOTE="KellySyracuse, post: 888620, member: 1644"] They had talks with a developer and SU and had already secured the money in November. For a major project to be built within the city. And they don't have the mayor involved? "Mahoney's office, working with SU, put together a financial plan for the proposed stadium project in late November, she said. In addition to state funding, the stadium would require a large investment from the county. Mahoney said county officials tentatively agreed to dedicate $4 million a year in county revenue to the project, and they planned to use a stadium ticket surcharge if more revenue was necessary to pay off county bonds for the stadium. Syracuse University, as the major arena tenant, also would have contributed to the cost of the stadium, she said. The Crunch hockey team was a potential tenant as well, she said." [/QUOTE]
