The city of Evansville appears to once again be moving forward with the demolition of Roberts Stadium.
The City Council has voted to approve funding needed to tear down the building. Missy Mosby tells Eyewitness News, the vote was five to three in favor of moving $187,000 from the auction proceeds towards demolition.
Earlier this month, council members voted to deny Mayor Lloyd Winnecke's request to transfer the funds. The mayor says the city has $500,000 allocated for the demolition in next year's budget.
Final cost of demolition and property renovation is estimated at nearly a million dollars.
