Mendoza, Light Break Ground on $50 Million Downtown Stadium
City Leaders, Residents Celebrate Milestone in Revitalization Project
Mendoza and Light Construction held a groundbreaking ceremony today at the site of a new $50 million downtown stadium. The stadium is a key part of the city's plan to revitalize the downtown area and attract new businesses and residents.
The stadium will be located on a 10-acre site adjacent to the city's convention center and will seat 10,000 people. It will be used for a variety of events, including concerts, sporting events, and conventions.
The stadium is expected to create 500 construction jobs and 200 permanent jobs. It is also expected to generate $10 million in annual tax revenue for the city.
Mayor Mendoza said the stadium is a "game-changer" for the city. "This is a major investment in our future, and it will help us to create a more vibrant and prosperous downtown," he said.
Light Construction is a leading construction company with experience building stadiums and other large-scale projects. The company is committed to using local contractors and suppliers on the project.
The stadium is scheduled to be completed in 2024.
