Dallas Stars' proposed Plano arena divides residents ahead of November vote

nbcdfw.com · 9hShare

Plano voters will decide in November whether to approve a proposition that would pave the way for a new Dallas Stars arena at The Shops at Willow Bend, as organized campaigns on both sides intensify their efforts over the proposed $3 billion development. The arena would be part of a larger sports and entertainment district at Willow Bend. The city of Plano said its investment would be capped at $700 million and paid through revenue generated within the district, including venue-related taxes. Signs supporting and opposing Proposition A are already appearing around Plano. Karen Dubrow chairs the new Stop the Stars Arena PAC, which opposes both the arena and the taxes that would help pay for it. “We are completely being railroaded because they want us to approve this prop with no details of a plan,” Dubrow said. “It doesn’t make any sense, and they want us to pay for it,” Dubrow said. Dubrow, who lives near the proposed arena site, also raised concerns about potential infrastructure cost
