The ALL Norfolk Hub finally has a location set.
In a release from the County, they say the project will be going on the original site at Ireland Road and Decou Road in Simcoe.
They say the project “could be one of the most important single investments in the community’s history”
The 24-acre property obtained by the County was the top-ranked site by the Recreational Facilities Advisory Board in part thanks to it’s proximity to Fanshawe College.
The site’s easy access to the Norfolk County trail system and that it will be linked to Simcoe’s downtown area will aid in the area’s continued revitalization.
The proposed All Norfolk Hub would include two arenas, an eight-lane, 50-metre pool, a 15,000-square-foot seniors space, a community kitchen and an innovation centre.
In the release, the County adds that the Community Centre would also play a key role in youth retention and attraction in the community pointing out that it fills a priority identified in Council’s strategic planning process earlier this year.
