00:07 Ryan Smith and the Sports Salt Lake Entertainment Group have a major new twist.
00:12 Not only have they received the relocated Arizona Coyotes, but even more important,
00:17 they're developing a project near downtown that they are publicly committing to invest
00:23 $3 billion in an entertainment district, not only for a new arena, but entertainment and
00:30 other opportunities, including preserving the Olympic Plaza with a not-so-subtle attempt
00:36 to lure the Olympic Games back, the renaming of the team, the focusing of 20 additional
00:42 sports.
00:43 They want $900 million in a tourist and sales tax allocation, plus some developmental funds.
00:49 There will be controversy, like there always is, but this looks like the real deal and
00:53 could revolutionize Salt Lake City forever.
00:57 Will it pass?
00:58 We'll see on July 2.
00:59 It may take a little longer, but they're certainly in the right direction.
