The deadline was extended in the last couple of days. ========================= Mark Messier tussles with mayor over Cuomo funding for Kingsbridge Quote:

When Mark Messier first announced his intentions to build a new skating complex inside the Kingsbridge Armory, it sounded crazy. This is the Bronx, after all. When it was revealed there would be eight rinks in total, it sounded insane. But the Kingsbridge National Ice Center recently launched its social media campaign—what bid for a public project would be complete without one?—and on the project’s Facebook page are a number of models that show exactly how Mr. Messier and his team intend to pull off this wild engineering feat.
At the heart of the complex will be a main rink with 5,000 seats and Madison Square Garden-sized ceilings that go clear up to the the massive buildings roof. On either side of center ice will be four more, stacked two on top of each other. All of the rinks will be NHL or Olympics regulation size. There will also be some retail concessions, which are tentatively to be filled by local businesses, as well as 30,000 square feet of community space. The whole effort underscores just how massive the armory is in the first place. |

recent article, I really liked this idea, but i don't have much faith it actually get's done. |
Geez, this project is taking forever already.
Related had a plan to build a giant retail center which would have opened 10 years ago (and produced far more jobs, tax base and community benefits) and here were are still waiting for construction to begin, even after the state gave $150 million for Phase I. |

This news article is almost a year old but it does appear that the ice center concept for the armory is unfortunately not happening - at least doesn't appear to be.

Read this earlier today. My first thought was if they're willing to put up that kind of money now why didn't the previous administration just offer a financing loan to the ice center developers to bring that to reality instead of letting that project languish for years? The ice center was a good proposal and would have been both an excellent reuse of the structure and an economic generator for the borough, it's a shame it was allowed to die on the vine.

It’s still not really clear what the plan is here. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what’s in the RFP.
