"How Do You Make Ice: The Champlin Ice Forum Story”
Your hosts, John Cox and Steve Boynton, retell the story of the making of the Champlin Ice Forum, a controversial public works project built in the the mid-1990's. The project resulted in the defeat of the entire City Council in 1996 as the ice arena was not supported by a majority of residents and the building's cost came in several times more than preliminary estimates.
