It’s been a long battle down in Orange County, but their leaders finally gave the green light to a $1.1-billion dollar plan to build a new arena, performing arts center, and major upgrades to the Citrus Bowl football stadium.

The biggest component, a $480-million new arena to serve as the new home of the NBA Orlando Magic, is slated to open in 2010.
