The story so far
Two Hillsborough commissioners who previously supported the Rays stadium project are now at the center of speculation regarding their potential to reverse the agreement. This shift comes as a deadline looms at the end of August, threatening the stability of a development deal that recently saw AECOM Hunt-Turner-Horus JV selected as the lead for the $2.3 billion facility.
The stadium’s future remains tethered to these pending legislative decisions. Final documents regarding the stadium financing are scheduled for public release ahead of anticipated votes next week.
While construction plans moved forward with the selection of the joint venture, the Hillsborough County commission must now finalize its position before the current deadline expires. These upcoming votes will determine if the project proceeds as planned or faces a significant procedural obstruction.
