COLUMBUS (WJW) – The FOX 8 I-Team has found that late Monday Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a new budget that included $600 million to go toward building a dome for the Cleveland Browns.
The measure included a change in the Modell Law aimed at clearing the way for the Browns to move to Brook Park.
The Governor planned a Tuesday morning news conference to discuss it, and other items in the two-year operating budget, including any vetoes.
But, the money for the Browns and the change in the law mark two major steps toward helping the Browns move off the lakefront.
The Browns plan to invest more than $1 billion in a dome and pay back the $600 million with profit from the project.
