City of Industry May Start Preliminary Work on Proposed Stadium Site
The infrastructure work on the land must be done whether an Industry stadium is built or not.
Preliminary site work on the Grand Avenue site of a proposed NFL stadium may get underway in January.
The City of Industry agreed to spend $172 million to install the site's basic infrastructure when its former redevelopment agency leased the land to Majestic Realty Co. developer Ed Roski Jr., according to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
The work to the site does not mean a stadium will materialize. The city must do the infrastructure either way, City Manager Kevin Redecki told the newspaper.
Roski is out of the country and could not comment on the stadium. His assistant told the newspaper that he wouldn't be able to speak on the stadium project until December.
The Industry East Business Center, a subsidiary of Majestic Realty, filed an application with the City of Industry in April 2008 to alter previous plans for development of the 592-acre site.
