Construction Progress Continues on EGF Facility Improvement Project
Exciting progress is being made on the East Grand Forks Arena Improvement Project as work continues at both the Civic Center and VFW Arena. Over the past several weeks, construction crews have completed several major milestones, bringing the community one step closer to modernized facilities that will serve athletes, families, and visitors for years to come.
At the VFW Arena, foundation walls have been completed, perimeter rink concrete has been poured, and the site has been prepared for the next phase of construction. Meanwhile, work at the Civic Center has included completing the new rink floor piping and reinforcement, as well as removing existing pavement and sidewalks to prepare for future improvements.
Construction is now shifting toward new rink floor installation, parking lot improvements, utility work, and the construction of exterior walls and building infrastructure. Future work will also include ADA parking upgrades, new sidewalks, and fresh pavement to improve accessibility and the overall visitor experience.
These improvements are part of a long-term investment in East Grand Forks' recreational facilities, ensuring they continue to support youth hockey, figure skating, public skating, tournaments, and countless community events for generations to come.
The East Grand Forks Parks & Recreation Department appreciates the community's patience and understanding throughout construction. While temporary closures and disruptions are never easy, every milestone brings us one step closer to reopening safer, more modern, and more functional facilities for everyone to enjoy.
