Rogers Place construction on time, on budget, officials say
BY DAVID HOWELL, EDMONTON JOURNAL
EDMONTON - Project officials were beaming Tuesday as they showed off the downtown arena quickly taking shape on 104th Avenue.
“It’s like showing baby pictures,” said a smiling Rick Daviss, executive director of the downtown arena project for the City of Edmonton.
“It’s been extremely satisfying to hear the buzz and the excitement ... that’s being generated by the scope and the pace that this development is taking.”
Work on the $480-million arena and adjoining $56.5-million Winter Garden is proceeding on budget and remains on schedule for its planned fall 2016 opening, Daviss said.
Construction began in March 2014.
