Everett council approves $10.6 million in stadium spending

EVERETT — The Everett City Council voted Wednesday to approve spending an additional $10.6 million on its downtown stadium project, money that will pay for completing the project’s design and property acquisition work.

The vote represents the biggest step forward so far toward approval of the project, known as the Outdoor Event Center, but is still not the end of the decision-making process for the city council. Final votes to approve a funding plan, purchase properties and start construction are expected for later this summer.

The council voted 6-1 to approve the funding, with council member Judy Tuohy voting against.

Everett has already allocated about $7.2 million in capital funds to the stadium project so far, money that went toward site studies, design, property acquisition work and consulting fees.
