SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs have launched a campaign to rally support for the passage of Propositions A and B, coinciding with the first day of early voting.<\/p>\n

Former Mayor Ron Nirenberg, former County Judge Nelson Wolff, and local business leaders joined the Spurs at The Rock at La Cantera to advocate for the propositions.<\/p>\n

The Spurs have committed $500 million to the arena’s cost and any overruns, along with an additional $1.5 billion for downtown development. <\/p>\n

However, questions remain about escalating costs, including the estimated $200 million needed to relocate a SAWS chilled water plant. <\/p>\n

Spurs officials acknowledged the rising construction costs and emphasized the need for discussions with the city. <\/p>\n

“Construction costs aren’t getting any cheaper,” said a Spurs representative. “There’s going to be a lot of unknowns that we don’t know yet, and it’s going to be part of the process and a lot of the conversation that we have in collaboration with the city.” <\/p>\n

The Spurs stressed that passing the propositions is their top priority to move the project forward. <\/p>\n

Voters will ultimately decide on Props A and B, with early voting running through Oct. 31 and Election Day on Nov. 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs have launched a campaign to rally support for the passage of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13265,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[11033,11035,11037,2065,11034,82,84,83,1594,11036],"class_list":{"0":"post-13492","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-arena-funding","9":"tag-construction-costs","10":"tag-downtown-development","11":"tag-early-voting","12":"tag-propositions-a-and-b","13":"tag-san-antonio","14":"tag-san-antonio-headlines","15":"tag-san-antonio-news","16":"tag-spurs","17":"tag-voter-decision"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
