JANESVILLE — A Rock County Board committee has pulled funding for the planned Woodman’s Sports and Convention Center in Janesville out of the county’s proposed 2024 budget.

If the budget is approved next week as it stood Monday night, $500,000 will be budgeted to pay down debt instead of helping to fund the ice arena and convention center on the site of a shuttered Sears department store at Uptown Mall in Janesville.
