FUNDS OK'D FOR ESCALATOR WORK AT CLEVELAND STADIUM

Cuyahoga County, Ohio, has agreed to repay the Cleveland Indians for millions of dollars' worth of improvements to Progressive Field, the home stadium for the Major League Baseball team, Ideastream reported on August 4. The US$3.5 million in upgrades included several projects, but the lion's share — more than US$2.2 million — was devoted to the stadium's escalators, including US$1.5 million for repairs and nearly US$800,000 for preventive maintenance and other work. The money came from a reserve fund originally set up in 2017 to pay for renovations to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, home of the National Basketball Association's Cleveland Cavaliers.
