Everett council OKs purchase of first properties at stadium site

EVERETT — The Everett City Council unanimously approved agreements on Wednesday to purchase four parcels of land for a proposed stadium project in the city’s downtown, the first of many pieces of property that will need to be acquired if the project is eventually built.

Everett will pay a total of about $10.7 million for the four parcels, located near the center of the proposed stadium site at the intersection of what is now Wall Street and McDougall Avenue.

Funding for the purchases came partially from a $7.4 million state grant, as well as city dollars Everett had allocated to buy land earlier this year, according to a city council memo.

Everett decided to purchase these parcels now due to timelines within purchase and sale agreements it had already signed with many of the property owners on the stadium site, city project manager Scott Pattison said in a Wednesday interview. Those four parcels also give Everett what is known as “site control,” unlocking the city’s ability to use the $7.4 million in state grant dollars, he said.
