Franklin County plans to divert extra casino tax funds to Nationwide Arena renovations, aiming to secure a few million dollars more each year. The authority has a $400 million modernization plan, seeking $25 million from the city and county, with the goal of unlocking $100 million in state grants. The casino money will only flow once state funds are secured, with the rest coming from bonds and new ticket fees. Despite budget constraints, officials view this as modest support, with the county preferring to contribute last on major projects. Checkout Solipillow.com
