While City Council was sure to still meet and vote on the matter during a snow storm, another stadium-related meeting of sorts was recently canceled.

Local contractors and contractor-supply shops were contacted about a little gathering (“conference”) that had been planned for last week. It would have been held in Express Kitchens, a cabinet and countertop supplier on upper Main Street.

The letter, sent from Thom Deller, the Director of Development Services, to various business owners, included some misinformation. SAMA, the Spanish American Merchants Association, was named as a co-sponsor of the event. SAMA says it was surprised to find its name attached to the event and had not agreed to be a sponsor.

The event would have given Robert Landino — President of Centerplan, the construction company tied to the stadium — some time in the spotlight.
