Clark County commissioners unanimously approved the Athletics’ Las Vegas ballpark development agreement Wednesday, marking the latest regulatory hurdle cleared by the Major League team on their $2 billion project.
The agreement, which was approved as part of a multiple-item consent zoning commission agenda, details the regulations of the construction and operations of the 33,000-fan capacity stadium. The approval will also smooth the permitting process as work continues on the phased project; the county has been issuing permits ahead of the agreement’s approval, to allow for the A’s to stay on schedule for the planned 2028 opening of the ballpark.
The agreement also details how the project will be regulated by county air quality, dust mitigation, water conservation and storm water permit requirements,. It will also have to meet Federal Aviation Administration guidelines.
