The Gatteway District , when they get this done - -- WOW
-
Just got done reading clipping about the renovation plus for Booth Memorial , crazy things for sure, when it gets done gonna be one of a kind.
Ku is asking for or already got 85 million in Public incentives , everything from Star bonds from the state , to special taxing from the city to help pay for the project.
Plus KU also is planning to raise approximately 100 Million from it’s Donors and expect it’s private development partner in the project - the firm that built the new KCI Airport to invest more then 125 million in cash in the venture.
All of that is in addition to the 448 million that it is currently spending to the West side & North of David Booth Kansas Memorial stadium. That project expects to be complete in August which includes the Conference and Convention center in the North Bowl of the Stadium. KU has received 85 Million in State and Federal grant funds to help make it feasible. When the two phases of the Ku project which KU calls the Gateway project are added together there will be 759 Million in development at the site.
From whats being talked about I guess there is talk that the East side renovation will start at the end of next season- -hopefully be ready for the 2026 or possibly the 2027 season
