Editor: The new plan for downtown Chatham looks great.
A larger arena might be in order, though, as the Bulldog /Spitfire games showed us in Windsor, since 4,000 seats seems a bit small for a quickly growing city.
The only issue from taxpayers would be “How much from the city in new costs” for the purchase or rental of property?
Build it and they will come for sure. This is the idea to wake up a sleepy hollow like Chatham while kick starting the civic core back to life is a great start.
Sometimes the bulldozer can be the best re-development tool ever.
