Arena Construction Update
Things are moving along quickly at the site!

  • The new locker room walls are going up fast, already about two feet above the addition.

  • Crews are setting block and steel supports in the northwest corner.

  • Work continues at the south end with fill material and footing prep for the arena’s foundation.

  • At the north end, the framing for the future ice pit is underway.

  • Over at the Curling Addition, the topsoil work is finished, and crews are checking utility lines—one mystery line is being investigated to see if it’s still active.

  • Stormwater structures have arrived, and the new water vault on the northwest corner is being installed and connected to the main line.
