The Thunder Bay Community Tennis Centre has announced it intends to seek city support above an existing $1.5-million commitment for a planned bubble at Chapples Park.
THUNDER BAY — The Thunder Bay Community Tennis Centre will seek more city funding to cover rising costs on its planned tennis bubble at Chapples Park.
The centre has secured a line of credit to cover the shortfall as it continues to fundraise to make up the difference. “I’d be very open to additional funding… with inflation and whatnot,” said Coun. Mark Bentz. “I view this project as very important, we want it to succeed. We don’t want it to fail based on a small extra contribution.”
That rhetoric obscured significant cost increases for the project, as the scope evolved, in recent years. The negotiations continue to drag on, a year and a half after city council gave its blessing in principle for a bubble on city land at Chapples.At Thursday’s town hall, several centre members said indoor tennis is badly needed, but raised concerns over the direction of the project.
“I think we should take a few steps back and see what we can do to ethically sustain it… like you’ve done for the indoor turf facility,” she said.
