Judge outlines funding fallout as Spurs arena vote looms

Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai outlined the impact and risks of San Antonio's proposed $1.3 billion Spurs arena, noting Spurs would pay at least $500 million, the city up to $489 million, and the county up to $311 million. With a City Council vote set for Aug. 17 on whether to place the city’s share on the November ballot, Sakai warned the deal hinges on the city fulfilling its $489 million obligation and warned of potential litigation or costs for reimbursement if it doesn’t. He also framed the project as a catalyst to revitalize downtown and the East Side and to remake county facilities in partnership with the San Antonio rodeo.

Subway Heat Could Power City Buildings Through New Geothermal Network

New York City and the MTA will study a thermal energy network at the Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall and Chambers Street stations that would capture heat from hot subway platforms and redirect it via geothermal boreholes to warm nearby government buildings in winter, cooling platforms in summer. The feasibility study, with design work eyed for 2027, would mark the first TEN in a U.S. transit system and aligns with the Chambers Street modernization, aiming to reduce indoor heat and energy use while testing a potential win‑win for transit and municipal buildings.
