WATERTOWN, S.D.–The issue of building a new ice arena in Watertown came up at Monday night’s city council meeting.
Councilman Ried Holien gave an update…
The request for an update came from Councilman Dan Albertsen…
One project that jumped ahead of the ice rink is a new Watertown City Hall.
The city is buying the Wells Fargo bank building downtown for $1.3 million, and will occupy it as the new City Hall staring in 2021.
Meanwhile, progress on a new ice arena remains slow.
Mayor Sarah Caron says estimates show a new two sheet ice arena could cost $17 million or more, and the city has not had funding secured to get construction started.
