Building a Ballpark: City votes unanimously to approve loan for stadium
(By Laura Graff, Winston-Salem Journal) - Construction on the downtown baseball stadium could resume as early as July, team owner Billy Prim said last night after the Winston-Salem City Council voted unanimously to provide additional financial help for the ballpark.
The council voted 7-0 to approve the plan. Council member Nelson Malloy, who represents the North Ward, did not attend the meeting for a health reason, Mayor Allen Joines said.
People who attended last night's public hearing at City Hall spoke mostly in favor of the city's additional involvement, saying that an unfinished stadium would harm the city's economy and make it difficult to attract new businesses.
