In Geneva, the costs of carrying out the Troufle-Blanc ice rink and expenses linked to the development of the sports enclosure were revised upwards. Total investment is estimated at 293 million francs.
Just because of the war in Ukraine, the prices of building materials increased by 16%, underlined Wednesday, before the media, the State Councilor Antonio Hodgers. The work of the Trèfle-Blanc rink must start at the beginning of next year.
The new infrastructure will be able to accommodate 8,500 spectators. It will include a surface of main ice cream, where hockey meetings will take place, and an annex surface, located under the esplanade of the building, which will allow apprentice hockey players to train and the public and schools to enjoy the joys of the sliding.
The initial amount planned for the construction of the only skating rink was 167 million francs, recalled Mr. Hodgers. The Council of State sent a bill to the Grand Council on Wednesday a bill opening an additional credit of 5.35 million francs.
