The President of Soccer Northwest refuses to give up on the multi-use indoor turf facility. Following city council’s 7-5 vote not to award the contract to Tom Jones Corporation, Michael Veneziale admits while there is no clear path going forward, he maintains this is by no means dead in the water. “For 7 years this project has moved forward, and because of one vote on a tender, that should not stop this. What should happen, is it should pivot, to figure out, what, if anything, can be done to make it happen,” says Veneziale. He also disputes claims other government funding would disappear with a yes vote, saying that is not true.
