City council has given the go ahead which will allow city staff to move forward in finding a new corporate sponsor for the downtown Essar Centre.
The City will issue a request for proposals and the criteria will include a minimum fee of 150-thousand dollars annually and that any new name include Memorial Gardens after the sponsors name.
The approval was given at last night’s city council meeting.
A ten year corporate sponsorship agreement with Essar Steel Algoma which provided the City 1.5-million dollars will be coming to an end in July of 2018.
