I am a SBBGC parent, 14 year resident of Bowie, and I am opposed to this Ice Center. We need more recreational space for city residents, especially when current residents cannot get membership to the current City Gymnasium. This proposal for a $28 million dollar Ice Center, that will be used by people outside our city and county, is negligent. The new mayor will be a one term mayor if this project moves forward as is

Not in light of the recession and dwindling tax revenues combined with the Kirwan commission report.

No ice rink ... please. We need to concentrate on improving roads and schools for our local community; not pay taxes for a $28 million facility that we don't want and won't benefit us all. Thank you.

This county is majority African-American. Residents of Bowie pay some of the highest taxes in the county. This facility will only benefit a small group of children. The monies should be used to benefit ALL tax payers. My sons play basketball. They are forced to play and practice in facilities that are in great need of renovation. Many are public schools. Why not use the money to improve the schools? It is a very short sided decision and seems to favor one race of people over another. Our money is just as green as theirs. The decision to build this facility is very disappointing and, I believe, racially motivated. I hope the council decides to build a facility that benefits us all.
Thank you.

The $$$ directed to fund the ice skating rink should be directed toward a gym that is larger than the existing gym and will serve basketball, volleyball and pickleball. On any given night the current gym is heavily utilized by Bowie citizens. No to the ice rink.

No, no, no to the ice arena. As someone said, this is a predominantly African Amercian community and it is a slap in the face to us taxpayers to ask us to pay for this when most of our kids do not participate in the sport. Put it in their backyard.
