The City Council OK'd using the sales tax funds from the closed-out Invest in Willmar projects for the construction of a covered outdoor ice rink, estimated to cost approximately $1.4 million.
The outdoor rink comes as the Blue Line Club committed to accepting a donated dasher board system at an estimated value of $50,000 from the University of Denver.
