Common Council approving in principle the building of a new arena on Scott Avenue, as well the refurbishment of the existing complex.
Before the new arena goes up, some residents in the area will have to leave their homes, but will they have to do it on their own dime? Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ News town council plans on helping those people move and paying for any expenses they run up.
The town of Rothesay is calling for proposals for architectural design services right away. The new arena will include an indoor walking track and a full-size ice surface and it's expected to take between eight and 10 months to build.
A proposed field house was estimated to cost between $25-30 million dollars, but the town said that was just too pricey. Bishop says they're hoping to get several million dollars from both provincial and federal governments for this project.
