Gov. Asa Hutchinson is proposing slicing state general revenue for War Memorial Stadium from $895,171 in the fiscal year that starts July 1 to $447,647 in the fiscal year starting July 1, 2018.
The stadium is allocated $889,085 in state general revenue in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, said Nick Fuller, a budget manager in the state Department of Finance and Administration. The stadium's total budget is $3.45 million this fiscal year, according to budget records.
Since fiscal 2005 when it received $600,000 in state general revenue, War Memorial Stadium has received such funds each fiscal year ranging from $699,999 in 2006 to $897,000 in fiscal 2009, records show.
