STATELINE, Nev. While a redevelopment agency approved to help fund a Stateline event center will disappear as of Jan. 1, its $1.3 million ghost will continue to haunt Douglas County.
Voters decided to eliminate the district after a petition placed an initiative on the ballot.
Slightly a week after the petition was certified, county commissioners approved a contract with the Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority providing $34.25 million to build the center.
At their Dec. 17 meeting, county commissioners were told that bonds have been sold as a result of the action and preliminary construction has begun.
“From a legal standpoint, legislative action generally cannot impair a pre-existing contractual obligation,” Deputy District Attorney Zach Wadlé said. “But at the same time, no other redevelopment area and no tax increment can be collected beyond what’s required.”
