Browns stadium plan: Let the lawsuits commence!
The Cleveland Browns are full steam ahead on the plan for a domed stadium and entertainment complex in Brook Park.
The plan hit a major milestone last week when Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed the latest state budget, which included a $600 million commitment from the state to help fund what is estimated to be a $2.4 billion construction project.
DeWine had originally proposed increasing the state’s tax on sports-betting companies operating in Ohio as the funding source for the newly created Sports and Culture Facility Fund, from which the $600 million will officially come. However, state legislators rejected that plan, and the funds will now come from the state’s Unclaimed Property Fund.
