Portland Arena Deal on Edge

Portland’s mayor is sounding the alarm as the Moda Center renovation deal hangs in the balance — with the city’s $120 million share still unsecured.

He warned that failure could cost jobs, broken promises, and even risk the Trail Blazers staying in town. Despite growing opposition, Wilson remains optimistic, citing mutual goals between city leaders and new ownership — and both are set to meet later today at the Metro Chamber.
