The seminar held earlier this week featured speakers from Tampere and Helsinki, among others. According to Sirkku Hildén, Chair of the City Council, this is only the brainstorming phase.
Lahti is currently considering whether it needs a new multi-purpose hall.
An overall study on the construction of sports facilities is being carried out and is expected to be completed in the spring. The development of the Sports Centre area will also be studied.
On Tuesday 24 January, in connection with the Pelicans ice hockey match, the City Council organised a seminar to which at least investors, developers and the chairmen of the Building and Environment Committee and the Welfare and Leisure Committee had been invited.
The ice rink in Lahti just turned 50 years old and many consider the rink outdated.
The Gulf’s own cover idea can also fit into the brainstorming session
Sirkku Hilden says that the construction of a sports venue and a possible multi-purpose arena must also be viewed as a matter of vitality.
– The location has not been locked yet, so the options are open.
According to Hildén, designing a multi-purpose hall on a deck over the train track like in Tampere can be one idea when the project is still in the brainstorming phase.
The spring reports are expected to shed additional light not only on the investment location, but also on business prospects.
