per Jason Gonzalez:
The Board of Regents approval vote needed to break ground on the Gophers’ $190 million athletics village will be delayed again — at least until October — Chair Dean Johnson told the Star Tribune on Tuesday.
An informational meeting for the university facilities committee will be held on Sept. 10, and on Oct. 9 the regents, “hope to take a vote on the athletics village, which would include a plan for the track [complex],” Johnson said.
“There are many reasons for that [delay], and all good reasons,” Johnson added. “No. 1, it’s a very visible program and we have to do it right. No. 2, we have to make sure the appropriate financing is in place. No. 3, that the actual facility will meet the competitive needs for our student-athletes. No. 4, this building will be closely watched.”
