The Astros’ efforts to move to Palm Beach Gardens along with the Blue Jays appeared to take another hit Thursday.

The city council of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., directed the city manager to end all work on the site the Astros desire most to relocate their spring training complex to, according to The Palm Beach Post.

The motion passed 4-1, with opponents of the proposed stadium reportedly standing in ovation and wearing a coordinated color, red.

The Astros have said they will listen to proposals for other sites within Palm Beach County. Hal Valeche, a Palm Beach County Commissioner, is leading that search.

Team counsel Giles Kibbe told the Chronicle that the team is also going to again look into moving to Arizona.

“(Astros owner Jim Crane) is going to be an excellent partner here for Palm Beach County, and we need baseball,” Palm Beach Gardens city council member Joe Russo said. “This is an issue that’s dividing the city, and we can’t have it divided any more over an issue we don’t even have a deal with. If we had the teams, I would feel differently. We don’t have the teams.”

Three council members are up for election in March, and the proposed stadium has played a significant role in the races.

“Does this mean it’s forever?” Russo said. “Well, let me just say this to you: for me, and our city, what I’m going to ask the council to do on our resolution, it’s over for us. The county owns the land. … I can tell you that (Valeche is) not bringing this back. If this thing comes to back us, it’s going to be with Commissioner Valeche and you all wearing different color shirts. It’s not coming back with you with red shirts.”

The brother of Vice President Joe Biden, Frank Biden, was reportedly in attendance at the meeting as a Palm Beach County resident.
