The Cleveland Browns may not be loading the moving trucks just yet, but their journey to a new stadium in Brook Park is oh so close to being finalized.
Last week, state lawmakers approved $600 million, which represents half the $1.2 million in public funding to construct the domed stadium. Haslam Sports Group quickly followed by purchasing 176 acres of land near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport for the project, which, in addition to the stadium, includes a mixed-use lifestyle and entertainment district.
Governor Mike DeWine signed the state budget late Monday evening, ensuring that the $600 million will be on the way.
