Belleville is on-track for a 35-million dollar multiplex recreation community centre with its application for senior government funding.
If approved the federal and provincial governments will pick up two-thirds of the cost, with the city carryng 11-point-six million dollars, less than the 15-it has in budget. Belleville would have two new NHL size ice pads, a pool, multi-use gymnasium, fitness centre, seniors centre, and artificial surface sports field. Mayor Neil Ellis says it will make Belleville the “hub” of the Quinte area. If approved the complex will be located at the Quinte Sports Centre campus.
