Hey Gang,
We have some exciting updates on the Breslow Ice Center from one of our dearest members.
Nance Harris and Sue Herman report that the word from the Mayor's office is;

"The Breslow ice Center is actually progressing along nicely. The City is working closely with the University Foundation . Mr. Breslow , the major donor for the project, really wants the Ice Center to be a part of the larger West Haymarket redevelopment project. He likes the location of the south end of the redevelopment so we have been working with everyone to design and place the center there.........the Univeristy is also interested in the Ice Center so they can keep the teams here rather than having them drive to Fremont. Mr. Abel is also one of the 2015 members who is also contributniog a lot of time and money to make the whole West Haymarket redevelopment come together."

"Right now, we are finishing up negotiations with the railraods since the proposed location for the Breslow and the rest of the redevelopment is on railroad land. Those discussions are going well and everyone remains enthused about bringing our many months of planning and work to the voters in May."

Nance goes on to report from the Mayor's office that "Even if the vote fails, the Breslow Ice Center goes forward." Last word from the Mayor's office is, "I promise you will be strapping on those skates before you know it."

Thanks Nance, for taking the bull by the horns and asking the questions.
We wait patiently for this wonderful facility.
