In June, a group of residents in the Railyards submitted opposition letters over the city's financing agreement for the project. The city council approved a special taxing district that will allocate approximately $92 million toward building public infrastructure like roadways, pedestrian bike lanes, and traffic lights in the area around the new soccer stadium.
Under state law, if half of the people who live in the district protest it, it must be put on hold for at least a year.
We then reached out to the city, which confirmed that there were enough letters to halt the expansion of the special taxing district, but Mayor Kevin McCarty says the city council is still planning to move forward with the development using other means.
The residents have been arguing that more affordable housing is needed in the Railyards.
Unite Here Local 49 issued a statement in support of the residents that said:
Mayor McCarty and Republic FC both said that construction on the new stadium is expected to start soon.
"Now that the city has clarified the path forward, we're advancing our plans to build a transformational stadium and neighborhood that Sacramento needs and wants. Our work on the stadium has never stopped and we look forward to beginning construction very soon," said Todd Dunivant, president and GM of Republic FC.
