The A’s development agreement for its planned Las Vegas ballpark is not on today’s Las Vegas Stadium Authority meeting agenda, but the “potential approval of the team’s community benefits agreement is,” according to Mick Akers of the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL. The lack of a stadium development agreement “should not be cause for concern” -- as the finalization of the Raiders' development agreement took several months before construction began on Allegiant Stadium. The A’s community benefits plan lays out how the team’s planned move to a $1.5B, 33,000-capacity ballpark on the Strip will “benefit Southern Nevada.” The latest version of the plan included in the authority’s meeting agenda lays out requirements including a “minimum financial commitment, workforce diversity goals for both construction and stadium workers, livable wages, infrastructure projects to ensure the high-impact project has as little as an impact on the community as possible and educational support” (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 3/20).
