The Arizona Coyotes and any other professional sports franchise looking at building a new home in Tempe have more time to submit proposals.
On Wednesday morning, Tempe amended its request for proposals for a sports stadium or arena and entertainment district to be built on a current a solid waste compost yard.
While still asking for the sports facilities, 1,000 residential units, 200,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and a large, shaded plaza, Tempe moved the due date to Sept. 2 at 3 p.m. Previously proposals were due on Aug. 19.
The city seems to be delaying the deadline to allow firms to include a public safety study with their proposals.
With the announcement of the new deadline, Tempe also gave a little more insight into what its expectations are for the proposals and the project going forward.
