Overall very ambitious and a game changer for Edmonton in many ways, but also multiple realities and concerns to deal with.

Where Credit is Due
Every time I tell the Edmonton story, from Hangzhou to Helsinki, from roundtables of 10 to audiences of 1100, people are fascinated how we evolved the Edmonton brand and engaged our whole community in the process. They ask, “How did you guys do it? How did Edmonton manage its way through the recession so well? How did you evolve the brand in such a short period of time? How did you grab the attention of the media? How did you rise so fast in the rankings?” Every time I’m asked, I stop and give pause, and I share an important story that seems to be forgotten – a story that gives credit to those who took the risk to fundamentally change the face of our city. Five years ago, our city was at an impasse. City Council was divided over whether a downtown arena would generate the economic benefits that were being claimed, and Edmontonians were divided as to whether a partnership with Daryl Katz could be trusted and whether it would be in the best interest of our city. https://brad-ferguson.com/2018/01/30...credit-is-due/ |
EDMONTON’S DOWNTOWN OF 2019 IS NEARLY UNRECOGNIZABLE TO ITS DOWNTOWN OF 2011.
https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...pg?format=750w EDMONTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT JANUARY 18, 2019 It started with a conversation about hockey, a popular topic in this city. With their old arena aging, Edmonton’s professional team and their ownership group were looking for a new place to play. The idea to build a new arena venue soon spawned another, bolder vision: use the new arena as the anchor for a transformational downtown development and renewal project. This project, which came to be known as Edmonton’s ICE District, was built on-time and under budget with the participation of many levels of business and community leaders. A mastery of public-private partnership and cooperative city building, the ICE District revitalization effort showcased one of Edmonton’s very best qualities: our city’s rare ability to work collaboratively together to accomplish big, important things in incommensurately small amounts of time. https://www.edmonton.com/home-2/2019...alize-its-core |
Perhaps the most apropos shot of Rogers Place & ICE District if there ever was.
