After years of negotiation, the design plans for Calgary’s new event centre — as well as its name — will be revealed Monday.
Calgary’s Event Centre Committee is meeting at 9:30 a.m., where it’s expected members will give approval to the last development permit for the project.
The project’s final agreements were signed in February, but much of that information was made public months earlier.
The Event Centre Block is almost 40 per cent bigger than the previous deal, and will house the event centre, indoor and outdoor community plazas, and a community rink.
All in, the project costs $926.4 million. Calgary will pay the largest share, at $515.3 million, followed by Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC) at $356 million, and the Province of Alberta at $55.1 million.
This is a developing story.
