The county was willing to provide $23 million in funding for infrastructure like the parking garage, soccer fields, roads etc. Nothing directly for the stadium. The county is still talking about other projects around the South Towne Expo like $7.5 million for the parking garage and add'l money for other projects.
My gripe with Carroon is that he keeps talking about the $30 million when in reality it was only $7 million that he had trouble with. SL County and the State are willing to spend $23 million in this area of Sandy.
