Owls coming to Town

The ground breaking for the Civic Arena expansion was a lot of fun tonight. Representatives from the Minnesota Owls, http://www.minnesotaowls.com/, were well represented along with members of the Arena Board, EnComm - building contractor-, our Ambassodors and Council Member Kolb. The Isanti Civic Arena will be the home ice for the Minnesota Owls, a Minnesota Junior Hockey Team. The Owls will be a great asset to to our Community and I am proud to welcome them to Isanti.

George, How is this addition planning to be funded?

The Civic Arena is run by a Board that the City of Isanti has one representative on. The City is not funding this expansion, the Civic Arena is managing this process. The Arena operates without City funding.

I would like to add that the arena is a none profit 501(c)3 corporation.

Also, the Cambridge-Isanti Hockey Association was represented during the ground breaking as well. The Owls should be a great addition to the community!!
