What it does

This bill modifies the major economic growth attraction (MEGA) program to include incentivizing the building of a professional sports stadium by a national football league franchise in the state. Currently, the MEGA program provides economic development incentives designed to attract capital investments from businesses who invest at least $1 billion in the state and who are primarily engaged in advanced manufacturing, biosciences, or research and development. The bill expands the MEGA program to provide economic development incentives to a national football league franchise building a professional sports stadium in the state.
