Milam’s companies said China Security & Surveillance Technology Inc. of Shenzhen, China, and its Chinese banking partners signed a “memorandum of understanding” providing for full financing of the 17,500-seat arena.
Friday’s announcement covered only the indoor arena portion of what has been billed as potentially becoming a $1.3 billion project that would include a separate open-air stadium. The proposed site is on Bureau of Land Management property south of the M Resort.
