Third time’s not the charm: Cameron County voters reject arena proposal … again

Cameron County voters on Saturday shot down a ballot proposition to allow the use of hotel occupancy tax revenues to help build a 10,000-seat, mixed use arena.

The measure failed by 6,272 votes to 9,769 ballots cast.

The arena would have been anchored at the Madeira residential-commercial development on I-69E halfway between Brownsville and Harlingen.

The measure to allow the use of venue tax revenue to help finance an arena has been voted down twice before, in November 2021 and May 2022.
