SALT LAKE CITY — In a unanimous vote, the Salt Lake City Council approved a deal with the Smith Entertainment Group that will infuse nearly a billion dollars into a proposed downtown sports, arts and entertainment district.
The funds will come from a sales tax increase of 0.5% in Salt Lake City. A vote on that tax hike will come later, after the Utah State Legislature grants final approval to the deal.
