Civic Center Funding Plan Faces Opposition
U S Rep Gonzalez urged San Antonio officials on Saturday to oppose Senate legislation limiting how much of the Civic Center project can be charged to other federal funded ventures. The city plans more than 2 million in local costs to qualify for federal help on a 10.5 million Civic Center Act project with an exhibit building arena and theatre. A House bill would allow 100 percent application while the Senate proposal would cap at 25 percent.
