The City Council approves a final project budget of $343 million, which includes
$51.5 million
for site acquisition and relocation, $266.5 million for construction, and $25
million
for off-site parking. Budget is approved predicated on a proposed Multiple
Prime construction delivery method to ensure that timelines and budget goals
