A’s to spend more than $1M on police, fire facilities at new Las Vegas ballpark
The Athletics’ development agreement with Clark County for its Las Vegas ballpark is scheduled to be introduced next week, with a requirement that the Major League Baseball team pays for over $1 million in fire- and police-related additions.
The Clark County Commission will introduce the agreement at a Sept. 17 zoning meeting.
The Metro holding area would feature a holding cell, booking room and an interview room, along with at least two parking spaces for police vehicles to transport perpetrators to jail. The A’s would also purchase $82,000 in equipment for Metro use at the stadium.
The fire post would occupy 1,000 square feet on the ground level of the stadium’s parking garage. The A’s would foot the bill for $26,000 in furnishings for the space and be responsible for purchasing $1.1 million worth of equipment, including a $650,000 fire rescue vehicle, a $300,000 hazardous materials vehicle and three John Deere Gator utility vehicles valued at $172,000 for the three.
