Municipality in Suroît to Acquire Arena, Jointly Managed by Three Localities
Earlier this week, a municipality in Suroît confirmed its intention to acquire an arena located on its territory. The sports infrastructure will be jointly managed by three other localities in the region for the next five years. This decision aims to ensure the continued availability of sports facilities for the citizens of these localities.
Under this arrangement, the three localities will assume the mortgage and the operating costs of the arena. Additionally, they will reap and divide up the profits generated by the sports building. This collaborative effort highlights the commitment of these municipalities to provide their residents with access to important sports facilities.
This move follows a similar initiative in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, where the municipality acquired three arenas in March 2022 for the symbolic sum of $1. These buildings, valued at $25 million, have since become municipal property. The success of this acquisition has likely inspired the recent decision in Suroît.
The announcement of this imminent transaction has sparked interest and debate among the public. Néomédia, a local media outlet, has decided to conduct a survey on the topic. The survey question for the next week is: “Do you agree with the acquisition of an arena by a municipality despite the significant investments that this represents?”
Respondents are encouraged to share their opinions by choosing one of the following answers:
– Yes, I agree.
– Yes, because it allows the citizens of the localities concerned to continue to benefit from its sports facilities.
– Yes, because these are important facilities to preserve.
– No, because the majority of arenas require investments of several thousand dollars.
– No, the money should be used for other purposes.
