After months of chatter about it and lots of controversy, last night Cleveland City Council approved the renovation deal for Quicken Loans Arena Monday night by a vote of 12 to 5.
The vote went the way owner Dan Gilbert wanted it to, as the arena will get a $140 Million renovation.
Twelve votes secured The Q’s future, while five votes opposed the decision.
Council President Kevin Kelley says the Cleveland Cavaliers are “stepping up their ongoing commitment to the City of Cleveland.”
Project plans include a major structural enhancement and update that remedies original structural shortcomings of the facility.
