The Janesville City Council has to make a decision Monday on how they plan to fund the Woodman’s Sports and Convention Center.

Finance Director Dave Godek says city staff will be looking for guidance from the council on how to proceed with the city’s $15.3 million borrowing portion, and do they want them to stay with the 20-year bond, or move to 15 or 10-year bond.

Godek says the council has to decide if they want to split the borrowing over two years, and on a 20-year bond the payments will be a little lower; but the interest will be about $2.4 million more.

The project is expected to begin this month with demolition, and is scheduled for completion in July of August of 2025.
