Paycor Stadium

Under the agreement, the county will spend $64.5 million to help fund the first phase of renovations to Paycor.

But not everyone is sold just yet.

The proposed renovation plan totals $830 million, which the county says is about a third of the cost of a new NFL stadium.

DeWine said he believes the projected increased revenue from the tax should go to a dedicated pool for the future construction and renovations of Ohio's professional major and minor league stadiums, as well as youth athletic programs.

This proposal was created at the direction of the board as a possible way to improve the stadium with a goal of keeping the team in Cincinnati for the long-term, rather than have the same conversation in just five years, said County Administrator Jeff Aluotto. The sides are negotiating terms of a new lease.

That's the question Hamilton County Commissioners Alicia Reece and Stephanie Summerow Dumas want an answer to.

These questions, for various reasons, just weren't a fit for our airwaves.

Hamilton County commissioners agreed Thursday to pay for things like better wheelchair accessibility, upgrading elevators, and some seat replacement.

Homeowners will see their 2024 property tax bill reduced $43.70 per $100,000 of home value.

The negotiation will include how to pay for needed repairs to the 20-year-old facility, and how much enhancements should be added.
