Sacramento Press: Natomas business leaders have a critical meeting Thursday in their
fight to keep the arena from moving downtown.
Natomas Chamber of Commerce President Ed Koop and N Magazine Publisher Emeritus Marni Leger, who chairs the chamber's Keep Arena committee, are set to meet at City Hall with City Councilwoman Angelique Ashby.
They'll discuss the advantages they see in a revised proposal to build a new sports and entertainment complex on 100 acres of city-owned land adjacent to Arco Arena. The original proposal, created by Natomas Entertainment Sports Center Partners, was one of seven submitted to the city late last year to construct a new arena in Sacramento.
They'll also ask Ashby to help keep the modified proposal on the list of contenders as the Dec. 30 deadline for another round of new or revised proposals approaches and those proposals are considered early next year, Koop said. (LINK to article announcing Dec. 30 deadline)
