If you're curious, here's a good article about it:
The Royals’ new Community Benefits Agreement lacks one important element: the community benefits
The CBA is exactly the vessel that should provide the binding details that voters needed. It's a vital component of any successful publicly funded stadium. The Royals simply failed to commit to the requests of the community. |
That's much more about their financial contributions than the actual development plans, no? Or am I missing that somewhere?
