Hamilton County's board of commissioners has approved a tentative $470 million agreement aimed at renovating Paycor Stadium, securing the Cincinnati Bengals' presence in downtown Cincinnati until at least 2036. This decision was made ahead of a June 30 deadline for an extended lease. Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn hailed the agreement as a significant milestone for both the franchise and the county. The approved framework enables continued negotiations for a new lease, ensuring that the stadium remains a central venue for the city's future.
The county board voted 2-0, with commissioner Alicia Reece abstaining. Dating back to at least last year, Reece has expressed concerns regarding the deal's implications.
In a statement, Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn said it was a 'significant day' for both the franchise and Hamilton County.
