The Edmonds City Council at its Tuesday, July 13, business meeting is scheduled to further discuss the planned redevelopment of Edmonds Civic Field a topic that generated much debate last week. The council is also set to review a proposal by Mayor Mike Nelson for using nearly $11.9 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds being allocated to Edmonds.
The city has been working since 2017 to find ways to fund the Civic Field project estimated in 2017 to cost $12.1 million. But now, with challenges related to site design and increasing construction costs, the project faces an even higher price tag of between $13.5 million and $15 million.
