A Community Improvement District was created for the west bank of the Arkansas River, and the district will have a two percent sales tax for businesses within the district. The revenue would be used to help with the stadium project, as well as parking, utilities and other improvements to the area. The boundaries of the CID were expanded to include a couple of areas north of the stadium where a group called Riverfront Partners LLC will be working to develop retail and commercial businesses. The city council voted in early January to approve a development agreement with the group.
