After lengthy public comment against the proposal, Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency officials committed $20 million in funding for repairs to Florida State University’s football stadium, the Tallahassee Democrat reports. The project and tax dollar allocation became divisive when analysis by staff found that it could leave the Office of Economic Vitality’s budget dry nearly through the end of the decade. The same analysis found that investing in Doak Campbell Stadium would likely mean more than $102 million in overall economic impact, stemming from home football games and other in-stadium events, such as concerts. Leon County Commissioner Jimbo Jackson said his decision to support the measure boiled down to economic impact: More than 250 jobs and $50 million in spending annually is connected to the stadium.
