Past city council comments stack the odds against $200M arena

Judging from comments made during the 2022 civic campaign season, it appears unlikely city administration’s proposal to move forward with a $200M arena will proceed

Past comments by elected officials make it seem unlikely that Tuesday’s resolution for the city to proceed with a $200-million new events centre/arena in downtown Sudbury will be approved.

This amount is currently $65 million, which is $135 million short of the proposed $200-million build . With approximately $25 million already spent, according to a report by city CAO Ed Archer tabled for the April 16 city council meeting, the total cost for the $200-million project is now $225 million.All these figures exclude interest paid on borrowed funds.
