The Arizona Daily Star reports the Tucson Convention Center (TCC) could receive Rio Nuevo money after all–$4.5 million from a 2008 bond sale.
For years, Rio Nuevo and the city have fought over who should pay for much-needed repairs to the dilapidated TCC.
“Because of the notice to proceed issue, the only thing we can spend money on is the TCC,” McCusker said. The TCC needs it. Our sense is let’s put it to work,” he said.
The Star says not all of the $4.5 million would be available to the district. He said some would be obligated to the city and other sources.
