Northern Bruce Peninsula Council will be returning this week to possibly decide on how to move forward with the Lion’s Head Arena redevelopment project.
This comes after council put its decision on hold earlier this month after three options were brought to the table.
The options range from changing the scope of the project to improve accessibility, construct change rooms and improve energy efficiencies, costing $7 million. Council could also chose to build a brand new facility on lands it would need to acquire, which would cost the municipality $31 million. The third option includes renovating the arena while constructing a new library and community centre, this comes with a about $20 million price tag.
While the options have not changed, CAO Peggy Van Mierlo-West is expected to have more details on land acquisition for a new facility.
This multi-million dollar project has been in the works for a while, which sought to update the arena with new dressing rooms, a multi-purpose room, and creating a new Bruce County Library Branch.
Council pressed the breaks on the revamp earlier this year after a recommendation was brought to the table to approve spending $17 million.
Council will meet to discuss the options on Monday at 1 p.m.
