TAMPA, Fla. — The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners voted 5-2 on Friday to approve the development and funding agreement for the Tampa Bay Rays' proposed new ballpark at the Dale Mabry campus of Hillsborough College.
The vote comes one day after Tampa City Council approved its portion of the funding plan in a 4-3 vote.
The approved plan would have Hillsborough County be responsible for nearly $800 million in public funding.
