Public hearing next month on Bucks arena financing plan

MILWAUKEE - A public hearing will be held next month on a plan for the city of Milwaukee to spend $47 million as part of the $250 million public financing package for a new Milwaukee Bucks arena.

Mayor Tom Barrett tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1N6xGmV) that the city plan won't be implemented without the Legislature's approval of the state's larger share of that public financing package for the $500 million arena. Bipartisan opposition has stalled that state proposal.

But he said it's important for the city proposal to undergo public review. The first hearing is July 2.
