Plano City Council has unanimously approved a $700M funding plan for the Dallas Stars’ Willow Bend arena district. A breaking story from @KershLilly and me with exclusive quotes from Stars CEO Brad Alberts and Centennial CEO Steve Levin: https://t.co/s8iHBdTXLw

Brad Alberts spoke with @dallasnews exclusively, his first public comments since Plano news became official: “We feel like this is in the best interest of the Dallas Stars’ future. It's going to be an incredible experience for Dallas Stars fans.” More from the Stars' CEO here ⤵️

The city has unanimously approved the non-binding letter of intent between the city of Plano and the Dallas Stars. City council emphasized this is a first step and allows them to begin real planning with the Stars.

Life on the Dallas Stars’ beat: from Canada, to courtrooms, to city council meetings. I’m at Plano’s tonight where the city council will vote on four agenda items related to the Stars’ proposed arena at The Shops at Willow Bend.
