From Niagara This Week:
The city now has a site for its new twin-pad arena big enough to make it a four-pad down the road, thanks to a gift from a family of prominent hoteliers in the Falls.
The city will have six hectares, or 15 acres, to build its new twin-pad arena complex, which includes a 2,001-seat arena and a 250-seat “bare bones” ice surface, within the old Cytec industrial property at 4001 Fourth Ave. The DiCienzo family, which runs Canadian Niagara Hotels, will acquire about 93 acres of the property and donate the 15 acres valued at about $3 million. Council accepted the gift at Monday’s meeting.
