The Phase 2 OMCC Renovation Construction Project would see the renovation of the existing first floor (lobby, dressing rooms) and second floor (Gold Room) and a small addition added to the front of the existing building to allow for construction of larger dressing rooms and washrooms to bring the facility up to current acceptable standards.
“Arenas are the glue that binds our communities, and a buzz of activity and I'm proud to be part of a Government building stronger communities through supporting critical arena renovations,” said David Piccini, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and MPP for Northumberland-Peterborough South. “The OMCC is a hub of activity in the community and this infrastructure investment will ensure that it continues to serve the needs of the community and its residents, well into the future,” he added.
The Provincial Government is contributing 73.3% in total eligible costs up to a maximum of $1,577,122.80 towards the project under the Strategic Priorities Infrastructure Fund (SPIF) – Sport and Community Renewal Stream. OSM Township will contribute 26.70% of total eligible project costs or $574,477.20.
“I am excited about this very important investment in our community infrastructure at the OMCC, said Mayor Joe Taylor “The Township of Otonabee South-Monaghan is extremely grateful for the investment by the Province in addition to OSM Township’s contribution in this exciting project which will benefit all of our citizens and businesses.”
