Among other things, the project provides for an increase of 1,000 seats to a total of 4,000 seats and an extension of the ice. Also, it will be possible to improve the aesthetics of the building and set up 18 dressing rooms there.
Remember that the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) pledged to invest financially in this project during its election campaign.
We want to keep this project alive because we know it’s important to the community. It’s an institution here in Drummondville, the Center Marcel-Dionne. In addition, it brings a whole economic activity to the city center
supports the Mayor of Drummondville, Stéphanie Lacoste.
Future renovations are also eagerly awaited by the Voltigeurs hockey team.
” What’s wrong is that the building isn’t up to par, both in terms of our ability to generate revenue and in terms of providing fans with comfort, convenience and then a decent service to our players. »
While Drummond-Bois-Francs and Johnson MNAs, Sébastien Schneeberger and André Lamontagne, agree that the amphitheater built in 1962 needs love, they are yet to put a specific date on when Quebec could pay the necessary ones total for this project.
” The budget was presented last week. First, $300 million is earmarked for infrastructure. The Drummondville project is a priority for us. […] We will be very, very diligent to make sure we support the city and make sure this happens as soon as possible. »
