Rep. Tarwater mentioned that 26 of the 30 NFL stadiums are publicly owned. So, it is less likely to be an issue if the new stadium is also a publicly owned one. According to him, it aligns \u201cwith the State\u2019s plan to use STAR Bonds to bring the Chiefs to Kansas.\u201d As for the authority\u2019s governing board, it will have 11 voting members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe authority\u2019s governing board includes appointed members from the governor, House speaker, House majority and minority leaders, Senate president, Senate majority and minority leaders, and the team,\u201d reported KCTV5. \u201cThe secretary of commerce serves by virtue of holding office.

With the legislative framework and governing board now outlined, Clark Hunt\u2019s vision for a new Chiefs\u2019 home is closer to reality than ever before. With the bill passing, his $3 billion project has taken a major step toward success. Even the supporters feel that it is a good initiative, especially because it is thought to bring a lot of revenue to the state.<\/p>\n
The $3 billion project will be beneficial to the Kansas residents<\/p>\n
Clark Hunt is totally invested in his new project. Overall, it will cost around $3.3 billion. The dome-shaped stadium will cost $3 billion, while the training facility in Olathe will cost $300 million. There will be a 60\/40 split between public and private expenditure. Although public funds (STAR Bonds) will cover most of the costs, residents are likely to find the project quite beneficial.<\/p>\n
\u201cTremendous amount of revenue. You know, a lot of people look at the expense side of things as far as the tax increment that we\u2019re going to give up,\u201d said Rep. Tarwater. \u201cBut you\u2019ve got to realize that the increment that we\u2019re giving up is the sales tax that doesn\u2019t exist today that they\u2019re going to create. And that\u2019s how we\u2019re going to pay for the stadium. Anytime you have a project this large, it normally brings down property tax.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new stadium will be located in Wyandotte County, near the Kansas Speedway and the Legends shopping district. It will generate multiple jobs. The project promises a significant economic boost, with construction alone expected to create over 20,000 jobs and projections citing a $4.4 billion impact in the near future.<\/p>\n
While the $3.3 billion price tag is steep, supporters argue the long-term economic windfall for Wyandotte County and the state of Kansas will ultimately justify the massive investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium has been the official home field of the Kansas City Chiefs for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":820729,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2063],"tags":[100282,346,16628,7,805,118,110,113693,2438,2437,32778,6],"class_list":["post-820728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-american-football-herren","tag-chiefs","tag-clark-hunt","tag-football","tag-kansas","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-kansas-house","tag-kansascity","tag-kansascitychiefs","tag-missouri-western-state-university","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116254468968924410","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=820728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/820729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=820728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=820728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=820728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
