SEG isn't going to lease all of that land. They are only planning to lease the county-owned land east of the DC. There are other stakeholders and landowners that are within the 100 acres that stand to benefit. Worth noting too that the sales tax is also not going to apply to groceries or car sales.

Hey man, I'm totally sympathetic to the cause, but a billionaire's $1bn+ worth of assets aren't always liquid cash- and it makes absolutely no sense to carve off chunks of that asset (i.e. the Jazz) and sell it to spend on doing stuff (renovations)- what billionaires do in practicality is use the value of their assets to leverage really really really big loans, and then use the profit generated by those assets to pay the loans back over time (sports teams generally get more valuable over time, as long as they continue to do well- they sell game tickets, a ton of ad revenue, jerseys, hats, etc.). It does sound like that to some extent is what they're doing, ALTHOUGH I hear your remark about public money too (but you could say this represents the public's investment in public assets like roads and streetlights and stuff in this district, and, after all, it is a place that will eventually generate a bunch of tax revenue back in exchange for that investment. Why would Ryan Smith be obligated to pay totally out of pocket for something that's eventually gonna make the state money as well as him?). It's kind of selling the floor out from underneath his whole operation to pawn off his owned assets for stuff, like for renovations, when the stuff is doing perfectly good and well generating value on its own. This is like the chief secret of really wealthy people and how they stay really wealthy, i.e. don't get rid of their capital haha.

You never truly get out of paying this because the owners demand a new stream of money in that time. I'm done lining up owner's pockets more. If we pay for the arena via taxes, why aren't we considered part owner's? We then get screwed as mentioned with higher prices in the long run

That's a church owned parking lot, and Smith isn't going to try and tangle with them over it. Considering the state if parking in downtown I would think someone would want to develope it into a full-blown parking garage or something. City Creek gets full fast whenever anything happens in downtown

Curious if the commitment to play games at the Delta Center means he couldn't move the teams for 30 years without paying back the money.

Taxpayers are now on the hook for a lot of green. The County will dupe taxpayers by leasing the two blocks for a dollar, without property tax. Don't forget inflation will increase construction costs. Kumba ya my Lord, kumba ya!!! Saw on KZread, what a huge homeless problem now in Salt Lake City downtown. But a sports arena is more important I guess?

This prohect, Brodie, is turning into an albatross. First Smith says he'll build a new arena, which was the right choice; a modern facility, without any renovations. Then he ldoes a 180, and wants to gobble up blocks of downtown, for this grandiose entertainment district, which includes the historic Salt Palace. There are plots of land just off the Delta Center grid, that would still be downtown, and ideal. Arena renos, ALWAYS end up with over runs, and look unsightly while work goes on. Smith should have just went ahead with the new arena.

Salt Lake County Mayor wants it to remain “in its present form,” but remodeled to become ADA compliant.

If you wish to know the difference between revitalization and gentrification. Revitalization makes it a point to receive input from the local residents in the planning stages as major stakeholders. In addition, there is an emphasis on balancing the current residents and culture of the community while adding new residents. Gentrification results from the gradual replacement of low income communities with more wealthy residents.

This sounds a lot like Phoenix. Initially played in the Suns arena with partially obstructed view seats as part of the equation. Then moved to Glendale and that didn't work out. Scottsdale hasn't worked out. Hopefully Utah can make this work. A lot of moving parts!

from the picture i saw of the inside with ice rink looks like they would need to expand a end about 10 to 20 feet or so i can't wait tell the arena is finished and see what everything looks like i see why they are trying to use the money on two areas but i think they should have put the money in to a new arena to fit both better . if UTAH still looking to get a MLB team the district would suit them too i don't see how both couldnt share it its a big area they want to make over

So many SLC haters in these comments. Cities are hugely important economic engines that make your lives better. SL County has 36% of Utah’s population, but 52% of its GDP. There’s a reason traffic is horrible going into the city in the morning and not the other way around. Housing is expensive in the city because demand is high and supply is limited. It’s great if you don’t want to live in the city, but at least show some appreciation for how much suburbia and rural communities are subsidized by cities.
