Oakland may miss out on millions of dollars in grant money that could advance the Oakland A's proposed ballpark at the city's port.
The U.S. Department of Transportation failed to recommend that Oakland get $182.9 million in the initial round of funding for the city's Waterfront Mobility Project. Oakland has not received official word that it was denied the grant money.
"While we are disappointed to have not been selected in the first round, we believe we put forward a strong application and are well positioned to secure other funding sources," said Fred Kelley, director of the Oakland Department of Transportation."We will continue to pursue other funding sources to ensure our projects have the resources they need."
The ballpark proposed by the Oakland A's would seat about 35,000 people, and the development overall consists of new housing, parkland, an entertainment venue and commercial space. Groups led by the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association sued to stop Oakland from issuing a required environmental impact report for the proposed ballpark.
