Opponents of the plan argue that the deal would offer too little in return and are calling on the city to "Stop the Railyards Ripoff."
A press conference opposing the plan was organized by the hotel and stadium workers' union Unite Here Local 49, the Sacramento Central Labor Council, SEIU USWW, and Sacramento Investment Without Displacement.
However, Republic FC President and General Manager Todd Dunivant defended the plan, emphasizing that the project represents a long-overdue transformation of the area.
Dunivant also noted that, in addition to the proposed stadium, Republic FC is developing its own plan for a new neighborhood in The Railyards, stating that nearly 45% of the housing currently there is affordable.
"Tuesday's vote is an opportunity for City Leaders to set the course for the future of Sacramento," Dunivant added. "The hard work of the city's trusted and dedicated staff over the past seven months — and 12 years in total — shows how transformative this project will be."
