Smart people may be needed on this

As always, things are never as simple as we want them to be. We may be bumped out for exterior improvements!
Mayor Kim Wolfe indicated that earlier trimmed projects for upgrading the exterior of the building, the conference area, and the sidewalk plaza could be revived.

Wolfe assured there had been “different recommendations”[...] and none of them pertained to ice hockey.
How will we get an ice rink then? Steve Williams wants...
a strategic plan, survey of how an ice attraction would make BSSA a 100 mile “destination,” and a solid business plan[...]
The strategic plan is probably best left to smarter people--of course I'm willing to chip in my .02, if any such people are reading this--I do think Pullman Square would be a big factor. I can say that while there are two ice rinks within 100 miles of Huntington, neither South Charleston nor Athens has the capacity to host a large spectator event like pro hockey or Disney on Ice (or any of the other skating revues).
