Planning for center gets go-ahead
The Coon Rapids City Council will explore building a facility with a pool, child care center, banquet area and possibly an ice arena. ... The city has about $100,000 in its 2008 budget for planning a center, Fulton said. Part of that process would probably include tours of other cities where such community centers have been built, including Monticello, Woodbury, Maple Grove and neighboring Andover. The center in Andover, geared mostly to a sports market, opened in 2005 at a cost of roughly $20 million, said Andover city manager Jim Dickinson. It includes a field house, an ice arena, meeting spaces and a YMCA, which leases space from the city. The city subsidizes the operation at a cost of roughly $100,000 per year, Dickinson said, a figure the city is satisfied with.[emphasis added]
