San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones' bid to delay Project Marvel talks rejected by city staff, council majority
Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones during a marathon City Council meeting Wednesday proposed pausing negotiations between the city and Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) on a new $1 billion-plus downtown arena for NBA franchise. However, she faced pushback from both staff and the majority on the dais. Despite Jones' concerns — which stem from questions surrounding two economic impact studies on the project and worries SS&E hasn't yet put the financial end of its offer in writing — council now appears poised to vote on a non-binding agreement with the team on Aug. 21.
