Both the city and County of Grande Prairie have completed the City County Multisport Dome Capital Contribution Agreement.
The agreement deciphers the different reasonability’s that each municipality will have to cover, regarding construction and operating costs.
The agreement says that the county will cover up to $2.8 million in one-time capital contributions, including a $500,000 payment in January 2026 and the balance upon facility completion.
In the agreement, it says that the city will be responsible for any possible construction cost overruns. The city will cover all net operating costs during the first year, but when year two starts the costs will be shared depending on the county’s residents usage rate of the dome.
City of Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says that agreements like this are vital in continuing the successful partnership between the municipalities.
“We know the power of a shared vision in our region, and the long-standing impact this regional collaboration has on creating a strong, sustainable future for all our residents and communities across the region. We look forward to the positive impact this work is going to have on building sustainable and accessible recreational opportunities across the region for years to come.”
Construction on the dome is expected to be completed by July 2026.
