After spending $7 million, Henderson is pulling the plug on a proposal to build the multi-million Henderson Space and Science Center.
Henderson city council members voted unanimously Tuesday to stop funding plans to build the project on 160 acres of city-owned land near U.S. 95 and the Galleria at Sunset mall. Mayor Andy Hafen says times have changed since the council gave the go-ahead in 2009 and earmarked spending $21 million in city land fund money.
That was after $4 million worth of architectural designs and public works. Since then, about $3 million was spent funding the center board. Now there's almost $18 million left in the land fund.
Officials say the money will be used for other capital project.
