CALGARY (660 NEWS) – Ward 11 Councillor Jeromy Farkas is looking for your thoughts on a new NHL arena.
In a Facebook post, Farkas is inviting Calgarians to a town hall to discuss the Rivers District Plan, which currently calls for a new event centre and a home for the Calgary Flames.
Farkas said the arena is estimated to cost about $600 million and that doesn’t include land or future plans for the Saddledome.
The latest round of negotiations involving the arena are still ongoing. There have been several attempts between the Flames organization and the City to negotiate, but previous plans have fallen apart.
You can also attend the town hall Thursday at 7:00 pm at the Acadia Recreation Complex.
