Groundbreaking for a new East Brunswick hockey arena will take place sometime in the fall of 2024, according to a report yesterday by Sarah Salvadore in the East Brunswick Patch.
At an East Brunswick, NJ Township Council meeting on Monday, July 22, the council awarded two contracts totaling $29,485,000. One for constructing the 83,900 square foot building, the other for constructing the concrete slabs, mechanical systems, and refrigeration for two ice sheets.
According to Salvadore, East Brunswick Mayor Brad Cohen stated that the cost of the project came in under the amount of bonds previously approved by the Township Council.
The July 22 East Brunswick Township Council Meeting agenda discusses these matters.
East Brunswick is a township in Middlesex County, New Jersey with a population of about 50,000. It is located east of New Brunswick and North Brunswick, with the New Jersey Turnpike and NJ Route 18 as its major highways.
Members of the hockey community in Central New Jersey say that this new arena complex in East Brunswick would replace the ice lost when Protechockey Ponds facility in nearby Somerset closed in March 2022.
RinkAtlas will report on further developments in the East Brunswick hockey arena development project as it hears of them.
