Bucks Local News<\/strong> reports that Bristol Borough Council voted to retire the debt on Grundy Arena<\/a> after selling the facility to Black Bear Sports Group<\/a>. The plan to sell Grundy Arena<\/a>, which is located in Bristol Borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was approved at an August 10 council meeting.<\/p>\n

According to the article, “The borough will use part of the $4 million in proceeds from the sale to pay off its $3.7 million in outstanding debt and will invest the remaining sale proceeds – $250,000 – for the future recreational needs of the borough and other projects.\u00a0The payoff of the debt will save the borough 8.5 mills a year in debt service and will result in a 15 percent decrease in the annual property tax rate beginning in 2021.”<\/p>\n

Black Bear Sports Group<\/a> bought a substantial number of arenas in Central New Jersey and Southeastern Pennsylvania. The sudden concentration of ownership in the hands of one private equity firm has been a topic of concern in the Atlantic District hockey community. However, Bristol Borough took advantage of a deal with a willing buyer. Council followed through on its plan to reduce its municipal debt, lower local taxes substantially, and invest further in its non-hockey recreation programs.<\/p>\n

Grundy Arena, a two-sheet arena complex, is now owned by a group that is more willing to invest capital in the arena’s deferred maintenance, which is always a concern with facilities of this age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
