An effort to secure funding for a new baseball stadium in Portland moved forward on Monday.

A Senate committee moved a bill forward with a do-pass recommendation.

The legislation approves $800 million in bonds to fund the stadium’s construction.

The bonds would be repaid through a tax on players.

The proposed ballpark would be located south of downtown and north of the South Waterfront.

The bill now goes to the Senate floor for a vote.
