Avon Lake Voters Consider Ice Land Rec Center Deal
Avon Lake residents head to the polls Tuesday to decide a 25 year lease of a recreation center built and operated by Ice Land USA. The plan requires a one eighth of a percent income tax increase to fund about 1 million dollars yearly payments, with city control over rates and use amid tax abatement for Ice Land. Support cites jobs tournaments and regional draw, while critics worry over public private venture and costs.
