Centre facing cash crunch
No word if private investors will be asked for cash
Convention centre might seek $13M more from government over rising steel costs
Posted By COREY LAROCQUE
REVIEW STAFF WRITER
High steel prices could force the Niagara Convention and Civic Centre to hit up the provincial and federal governments for more cash on top of the $70 million they’ve already chipped in.
Project director Dragan Matovic confirmed the city and convention centre team have “approached” representatives at both levels “with a view to obtaining additional funding” for construction costs.
“We’re being prudent in anticipation of some of the events occurring across the world … We don’t know if this is an issue as of yet,” he said in an interview Tuesday.
Matovic said he wouldn’t comment further because the convention centre is in the middle of its process to hire a builder.
If construction costs remain higher than anticipated, the convention centre could require as much as $13.5 million more, Mayor Ted Salci said.
Neither Matovic nor Salci addressed the question of whether private investors would also be asked to chip in more.
Changes in the prices of steel, concrete and fuel might add between 10 and 15 per cent to the original $90-million construction cost, he estimated. (more…)

It took a lot of hard work, but the end result is well appreciated by those who use the path leading down to the Whirlpool area of the Niagara Gorge.
“The difference is like night and day,” said Steve Wilson, who worked on the project with his wife, Lisa, and a group of fellow firefighters from the Niagara Falls Fire Department, the Niagara Parks Commission and people who just showed up because they wanted to help.
New stairs have been installed and repairs were carried out to existing steps where the stones and gravel had slowly been washed away after many years of use.
About 40 people worked on the project, which was initiated by the city’s Trails & Bikeway Committee and embraced by the Niagara Parks Commission.
The work was spread out over a three day period last month. (more…)
