Oppose a Stadium/event center at South Valleys park!
Oppose a Stadium/event center at South Valleys park!
The Issue
South Valleys, a county park off of wedge parkway, may be diverted into a private use, a 6500 seat stadium (and 10,000 capacity special events).
More Info: www.RenoSoccerStadium.com
Land was donated and reserved for public use, outdoor recreation, and a county park approved to include; Multi-Purpose Flat Fields, Baseball fields, Splash Park, Picnic Area with Restrooms, Kids Play area, Dog Park, and Trails will be pushed aside, in spite of the argument there are not enough fields. Because the region’s fields are 160% overused and underfunded, South Valley Park received a $2 million grant to expand the park… for more park! But, the proposed stadium is adjacent to thousands of single family, apartment, and mobile homes. Traffic (20,000+ vehicle trips for events), light & noise pollution, compromise residential neighborhoods and depress home values and risk family neighborhoods for increased crime! 18 acres in south Reno worth ~$36 million is about to be given for free ($1 per year) to a private project. The first lease term, 20 years, has already been paid, $20! There is also non specific talk about revenue share (public will pay!) but that's after private profits. The project is being pushed without any of us knowing and is already in Stage 2, of a 3 Stage process. Contracts are being negotiated behind closed doors! Stage 3 means it’s approved.
Reno planning has already previously approved a different stadium for the soccer team, 1868, off Parr blvd with the majority of the of permits issued with the final site plan presently under review. This location requires no public money and does not infringe on any families seeking refuge from a busy city life.
Wendy Damonte is speaking for us saying "people actually want to live near these stadiums" "They are not worried about the noise, they want to be part of that"
They need to hear our voice! The next hearing for the board of commissions is August 20th at 10am at 2001 E. 9th st., Reno, NV 89512
