PITCHING IN ON NEW STADIUMS
By BILL SANDERSON
January 19, 2006
-- State government is stepping up to the plate to
help the Yankees and Mets start building new stadiums this spring
.
Both teams' plans received preliminary approval from the state-run Empire State Development Corp. for $70.7 million in spending on each stadium project.
The Mets' funds
would be spent on unspecified "infrastructure upgrades" for the team's new stadium, to go up in the parking lot behind Shea Stadium. Some of the money will also be used for a new parking lot, to be built on the current stadium site.
The Yankees' $70.7 million
will help pay for four new parking garages. The garage part of the project is expected to cost $247 million in all.
The Yankees and Mets have agreed to pay for the actual ballparks, which are both going up on city parkland.
The $800 million Yankee Stadium project is awaiting approval from the city Planning Commission, and faces opposition from its neighbors in the South Bronx.
The city plans to spend $129 million to upgrade parks and other public works around the stadium, which will go up across 161st Street from the current ballpark.
City officials say the $600 million Mets stadium got the planning approvals it needs in 2001. The city will spend about $85 million to improve infrastructure in the area.
The Mets say they'll unveil plans for their new stadium in the coming weeks.
