Browns are happy to potentially get $600 million in state money for new stadium
The proprietors of the Factory of Sadness are happy with progress they're making toward building a new one. Although the mechanism isn't clear, the Browns are hoping to get $600 million in state funding for a $2.4 billion venue to be built in Brook Park. Assuming the Art Modell Law doesn't get in the way. On Wednesday, the team made Haslam Sports Group executive V.P. and COO Dave Jenkins available to reporters to discuss recent developments. 'We're very excited that the Senate chose to include $600 million in their version of the budget . . . but not nearly to the finish line yet,' Jenkins said. 'So, there's been three versions of $600 million dollars, starting with the governor, him putting it in first obviously signaled a desire at the state level to enable this project — seconded by the House, their version, and again, three different constructs.' The state has until June 30 to finalize a budget that will raise the money by increasing taxes on gambling, issuing state bonds, or taking money from the unclaimed property fund. Jenkins was also asked about criticism arising from the reluctance of ownership to privately fund the stadium. 'I think we've been pretty clear from the outset that it takes a public-private partnership to enable this project,' Jenkins said. 'And I think there's a bit of conflating of issues here. So to say that the $600 million going to us is created by pulling from other sources is, I think, a pretty unfair and inaccurate way of presenting it. So we defer to state leadership. Again, all three branches of government have signaled a willingness and a desire to enable this project, and we'll see what happens on June 30.' But the $600 million that goes to the Browns necessarily could have gone elsewhere. Balancing a public budget is a zero-sum game. Less that goes to one column is more than can go to another. The Browns still need to get $600 million in local funding to make it a true 50-50 public-private partnership. The county is out if the Browns insist on going to Brook Park, so they'll need to find that $600 million elsewhere. Regardless, the Browns are optimistic that the $600 million from the state will happen. "[T]here's three different ideas on the table now,' Jenkins said. 'So what happens . . . behind closed doors? I think those three branches of government will work hard — they've all said $600 million is OK for the project and they want to do it, and they want to enable the project. So I think they'll work collaboratively to find a final solution.' There's still a lot more that needs to happen before the stadium can be built. Coming up with $1.2 billion in public funding is half the financing battle, and the Browns could be closing in on getting half of that.

Cleveland Browns say they are building a dome with or without Cuyahoga County's help
**Related Video Above: Latest on money for road projects around Browns dome site in Brook Park CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Fox 8 I-Team has obtained an email an official with the Haslam Sports Group sent to the Cuyahoga County executive stating the Browns will move forward on plans for an enclosed stadium with or without the county's help. 'To further clear up misinformation, while we have not given up on our elusive goal of local unity, and the upside for the public is far greater with the county's partnership, we remain undeterred and are not relying on the county's participation to execute this project,' states the email written by Dave Jenkins, chief operating officer for the Haslam Sports Group. Social Security retirement age is changing: what to know about full benefits The email was sent to Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne Thursday afternoon. Ronayne told the I-Team he went to Columbus last week to hand deliver a letter that he and Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb signed. The letter urges Ohio senators not to give money to help the Browns build a new enclosed stadium and development in Brook Park. Instead, Ronayne and Bibb want senators to support the Cleveland lakefront transformation plan, which includes renovating the current stadium. 'The lakefront stadium transformation plan is a far more reasonable and responsible one for Ohio taxpayers,' Ronayne said. 'And so for us and the fans and the taxpayers, we want to have a conversation about the Cavaliers, the Guardians and the Cleveland Browns together.' The email from Jenkins states the HSG has 'made every effort' to work with him to find a unified vision for a long-term solution for the city, county and state. Cleveland Browns' 2025 schedule released 'It is truly disheartening to see you, as County Executive, actively work against a potential $600 million investment from the State that would be paired with $2 billion+ in private investment for an unprecedented $3 billion+ economic development project centrally located in Cuyahoga County,' the emails states. 'These are the types of inexplicable decisions that keep the Greater Cleveland region from thriving, while other regions like Columbus and Cincinnati continue to grow and evolve.' The Browns are requesting $600 million in bonds from the state. That money would be paid back with profits from the project. The Browns are also contributing $1.2 billion towards the stadium and another $1 billion to the mixed-use development. Gov. Mike DeWine has said he believes the dome project is a 'good thing' for the state. He, however, has proposed raising the gambling tax to pay for stadium projects. The Ohio House approved the Browns' $600 million funding plan for the dome. It is now under consideration by the Ohio Senate. A final decision on state funding is not expected until June.
