Kingsway plus Downtown.

That’s the message Dario Zulich and the True North Strong team has as they proposed renovating the current arena downtown to a medium sized music theatre and art conference centre called Music City…if the event centre goes on the Kingsway.

Zulich had no price tag and hasn’t spoke with city council about who would pay for the renovations but says they’re offering something more than just an event centre.

He was asked if it was a last effort at getting councils vote.

Zulich says a hotel could be attached to Music City and says hotel owners have been interested in a new downtown hotel as well.

The plans show a 1,200 seat venue that could host the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra, comedic performances and more.

The space to the left of the concert hall could potentially then be used for conferences, the Art Gallery or a new public library…both were considered priorities by the city.

The hotel would be in the back of the centre in the parking lot of the arena now, overlooking Memorial Park.
