Soccer input series kicks off

City staff has been hard at work preparing its analysis on the benefits of the use of the publicly owned tract of land at McKalla Place as a Major League Soccer stadium. The resolution asking for this analysis, which City Council passed on March 22, also called for a community engagement process to collect the public’s thoughts on the matter. In response, staff has scheduled three information sessions. There will be two on May 8 at the Northwest Recreation Center, 2913 Northland Drive, one beginning at 6 p.m. and one beginning at 7 p.m., and one on May 10 at 7 p.m. at the Montopolis Recreation Center, 1200 Montopolis Drive. Staff’s report to Council is due June 1.
