To build…or not to build. That is the question.
One of the more contentious election issues will come up at the Chatham-Kent council meeting Monday night.
The possibility of building a new twin pad arena in Chatham.
This would replace Memorial Arena, and the William K Erickson Arena.
Last May council asked senior staff to put together some numbers for the incoming council.
There are proposals for a 4200 seat facility and a 2200 seat facility.
Also ideas on cost and funding.
Any hopes of ever landing an OHL team in Chatham-Kent go out the window if they go for the cheaper 2200 seat rink.
