[News] Calgary, Alberta, & CSEC agree in principle to $1.223bn Event Centre + infrastructure

[Jimmy Stang]

Is the CMLC (Calgary Municipal Land Corporation) involved again, or is that still to be determined?

I recall that (somewhat controversially) CSEC wanted them off of the project, then we got those underwhelming renderings, and then everything fell apart anyway.

CMLC has done a good job with other big projects in the city, and I trust them much more than CSEC to deliver something that considers the entire district, and not just the one building.

They haven't determined the project's development manager yet.

CMLC seems competent based on the other projects they’ve done in Calgary. No way the Flames will work with them. Like 0%.

The flames will find the group that oversaw that monstrosity by McMahon or the group that did the brown monstrosity by COP and get them. Heck, they may even look to see if the company that does the truck layouts in the concourse can handle a bigger job.

CMLC was removed from the project last go around, I doubt they’ll be heavily involved this time. They may be included in discussion of the public and community related items but not the arena itself.

I don't believe CMLC had a representative at the press conference announcing this deal (while the city, province, Stampede, and CSEC all did), so that probably tells us all we need about their involvement in the project.

Would they have had a representative? They’re functionally just an arm of the City, while the City/Province/Stampede/CSEC are all completely distinct entities.

They’re still in charge of the entire district that the event centre is going to be located it, so I have doubts they’d be shut out completely, CSEC just seemed to have an issue with them as project manager.

Nah, bad take

It’s a question, a doubt, and a fact.

You’re not very good at this.
