The City Council, acting as the Redevelopment Agency, has agreed to pay for half the cost of a study on the possibility of building a theme park in the city. Council members last week voted 4 to 1 to allocate $17,500 for the preliminary study, which will be conducted by U.S. Entertainment Centers Inc. and its design partner, Battaglia and Associates.
