Santa Clara stadium vote pushed back
Plans for that $850 million or so San Francisco 49ers stadium in Santa Clara, which have been on the back burner for much of the year, aren't showing much signs of being front-burnered anytime soon: City officials now say a public vote on the project definitely won't take place during the February presidential primaries. "February is out," city councilmember Dominic Caserta told the San Jose Mercury News. "It could be June, but it could take until November."
Meanwhile, Great America, the theme park operators whose parking lot would be the stadium site, still hasn't decided whether to okay or veto the plans, three months after declaring, "We're opposed to the development at this point in time." "There's really not a timetable at this point," company spokesperson Stacy Frole told the Merc News. "There's been quite a bit of information going back and forth, and we need to take our time and make sure we're analyzing this information." Frole didn't say whether some of that information involves dollar figures.
