Since 2013, the City of Virginia Beach has solicited private proposals to build a sports and entertainment arena near the Virginia Beach Convention Center.  On May 27, 2014, Virginia Beach City Council adopted a resolution directing city staff to pursue negotiations with a private consortium headed by United States Management LLC (USM) to proceed with a public-private process to develop the arena and prepare a report determining the scope and cost of public infrastructure needed for the project. City staff and their associates will discuss the report and answer any questions regarding this exciting new sports venue for our region.
