Oregon Tech asks Klamath County for $150,000 toward stadium canopy project
Summary
Oregon Tech requested $150,000 from Klamath County to help fund a student-designed canopy covering 4,600 sq ft at the John and Lois Stilwell Stadium; the Board agreed to discuss the request at its next Finance meeting.
RaShell Carvalho and John Stilwell, representing Oregon Tech, presented a request for $150,000 in county funding for a student-designed canopy at John and Lois Stilwell Stadium. The canopy proposed would cover about 4,600 square feet and is intended to protect spectators from weather and balls.
Presenters said the stadium hosts conferences and tournaments that typically bring roughly 500 visitors per event and estimated that each event generates about $250,000 in local economic activity. The Board did not take funding action at the work session but agreed to place the request on the agenda for the next Finance meeting for further consideration.
No formal commitment or timetable for county funding was recorded in the work session minutes. Oregon Tech representatives and county staff will prepare materials for the Finance committee’s review.
