Ideas Brought Forward On Border Arena Future

An indoor skate park? A movie theatre? A paint-ball field?

Those are just a few of the ideas brought forward by residents on the future of the Border Arena.With the opening of the Civic Centre in downtown St. Stephen in the midst, a public meeting was held this week for residents to give their opinion on what should become of the 40-year-old facility.

Other ideas included an indoor turf for sports, a youth hostel, and keeping the building as an arena for a few more years until ice time requirements are met with the Civic Centre.



Deputy Mayor John Ames says the land is leased from the province and the arena will need around 40-50 rentable hours in order to keep costs withing reason.

No definate plans have been made yet.
