American Dream, the long-stalled Meadowlands mega-mall, may get an $800 million boost this week as it limps toward the finish line.

The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority is scheduled to vote Tuesday on new financing for the project that would infuse the project with $800 million.

And on Wednesday, the state Local Finance Board also plans to hold a vote on the sale of $800 million in bonds.

How it would work: The state would borrow the $800 million from investors on behalf of developerTriple Five. A portion of the revenues from American Dream, rather than going to state coffers as taxes, would instead initially be used to repay the bondholders.

Though the vote is scheduled for Tuesday, the details of the actual financing plan remain murky.

An NJSEA spokesman told NJ Advance Media that the resolutions concerning American Dream financing would not be available for review until after the meeting Tuesday.

What is clear is that East Rutherford, which originally agreed to issue $675 million in bonds for American Dream, will no longer borrow any money on behalf of Triple Five. But the borough will still be tied to the project, Mayor James Cassella said.

East Rutherford will receive about $23 million once bonds are issued for the project under a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement with Triple Five, Cassella said. The money will go toward a new police department headquarters and other borough projects.

State Sen. Michael J. Doherty (R-Hunterdon, Somerset, Warren) criticized the lack of transparency surrounding the financing deal.

"It's a huge financial decision and we still don't have any information on it," Doherty said.

The sports authority agenda includes a pair of resolutions: One applying to the Local Finance Board to issue the Redevelopment Area Bonds and the other approving the financing for American Dream under "Section 66.0304(11)(A) of the Wisconsin Statues."

That section of Wisconsin law says commissions in that state can't issue bonds in other areas unless "a political subdivision within whose boundaries the project is to be located has approved the financing of the project." Triple Five, the developer of American Dream, said earlier this year that it may use the Public Finance Authority of Wisconsin to issue the bonds.

Officials from the Public Finance Authority told NorthJersey.com they were not aware the agency had a role in issuing the American Dream bonds.

Doherty believes the state should have no role in helping to finance American Dream. The project is expected to cost more than $3 billion. The Sports Authority previously agreed to issue another $350 million in bonds on behalf of American Dream.

"We're a state that's broke," Doherty said. "We don't have money to pave our roads, to make our bridges safe. And we're going to give a private developer almost a billion or more to complete a mall. It's just off-the-charts insane."

Triple Five originally planned to sell $1 billion in public bonds to finance American Dream in March. But the sale was delayed when Triple Five attempted to restructure the deal.

The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority is scheduled to meet at 10 a.m. at 2 DeKorte Plaza in Lyndhurst.
