More Details About Proposed Worcester Sports Arena Discussed; County Undecided On Funds For Feasibility Study

SNOW HILL – While questions remain, Worcester County leaders learned more this week about the 6,200-seat sports arena a Texas company has proposed for northern Worcester County.

Representatives from Hat Trick Consulting, the company that has presented plans for a minor league hockey arena, met with the Worcester County Commissioners Tuesday to talk about the concept they have come up with for the shore. While in the area, they will be visiting potential arena locations in Berlin and West Ocean City.

“We’re in the early part of the process,” said Bill Badger, Worcester County’s director of economic development. “This is really just a courtesy by Hat Trick so the commissioners are aware of the multiple issues involved in making this a reality.”

what's a measly $15K when you can raise taxes 20%?

Hope this goes to Berlin. It will bring the Civic Center back to its original purpose a Youth Center.

A facility for ice sports in this area of the peninsula isn't a bad idea. The hockey and curling in Talbot County draw across Delmarva. I bet there are a lot of people that don't want to drive 1.5h to participate in a sporting session that often ends at 11pm. Increased awareness can only lead to increased participation.
