Jimmie Stephens on new BJCC Stadium, arena renovations: It’s now time to get it done

Jefferson county already pledged $30 million for the project.

The city of Birmingham’s contribution is still unknown. Council President Pro Tem Jay Roberson says he expects the mayor to make a recommendation to council in the next week or so.

There is also talk about the legislature making changes to the car rental tax bill to help generate revenue for the project.

Snider said a bill was passed years ago to allow that car rental tax to generate revenue for the project, but that it has not been implemented yet. Now that a project is ready, he says a change is needed in the bill to allow the money to begin to be collected.
