We finally know how much money the Janesville Jets intend to contribute towards the proposed $50.3 million indoor athletic and conference center at Uptown Janesville.
President Paul Benson says the Janesville City Council will consider a 10-year lease agreement for the minor league hockey team’s non-exclusive use of the Woodman’s Sports and Convention Center at their meeting Monday night.
According to a memo in the City Council agenda, the Jets would contribute $390,000 towards construction, as well as another $100,000 a year for 10 years out of their add revenue to help cover operating expenses.
Benson says there will also be roughly $15,000 to $20,000 in alcohol sales, more money for concession sales, and the Jets plan on purchasing an additional 100 hours of ice time valued at $25,000.
