ONN – Las Vegas Stadium Authority Has $20 Million Deficit Ahead Of Saints Vs Raiders MNF – A Way To Fix
The Pandemic has caused giant losses of revenue in the tourism industry, and no large American city has suffered more than Las Vegas and surrounding Clark County. The hotel industry dive in occupancy rates has clearly hurt the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. It has had to dip into bond reserves already, million, and is facing an overall total budget deficit of north of $20 Million. (The reason for this number and not the $13 million one in the report, is that the number reflects July and not September. A conservative estimated loss of $3 million per month in hotel tax revenue is forecast to have already happened to this date.)
What’s the way out of this? A redevelopment program that creates a tax increment financing zone around the Stadium. The area would be of sufficient size to include $2 billion in total property value. The tax increment revenue from the area would form because the land sales in the area would cause an annual increase in total assessed value, and that has already happened because of Allegiant Stadium.
The problem is there’s no way to capture and harness that revenue growth. In this way, the revenue can be used to help cover shortfalls. If the rate of growth was just 4 percent annually, by the 40th year, that would yield $1.4 billion in revenue assuming a one percent tax on the tax increment itself. That money can be applied against a special bond issue that would help futher protect Clark County’s General Fund from bond default.
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
