Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo signed into law Thursday a $380 million public financing package to help build Oakland Athletics’ new stadium on the Las Vegas Strip as MLB’s commissioner outlined a months-long approval process for the A’s proposed move there.

Lombardo said he was excited to sign the measure after a seven-day long special session.

“This is an incredible opportunity to bring the A’s to Nevada,” Lombardo said in a statement from Carson City.

“This legislation reflects months of negotiations between the team, the state, the county, and the league,” Lombardo said. “Las Vegas’ position as a global sports destination is only growing, and MLB is another tremendous asset for the city.”
