I'm gonna try again here with all the details.

The city of Hillsboro owns and manages the (current and future) stadium, not the team.

The High Desert Museum DID get hundreds of thousands of dollars. They had an additional 2 million dollar request for a project that was denied. Many several arts projects and museums were also funded.

The MLB requirements for team stadiums changed, which would have forced the team to move. The deadline for funding the new stadium was days away. Everyone here loves the Hops.

Also, locally this news group is considered right leaning trash that is very agenda driven. OPB is our public funded news that tells stories more accurately if you're interested.
