Charlottesville Ice Park takes a fall... now on the block
by Brendan Fitzgerald, March 1st 09:07am
This weekend, Charlottesville Ice Park owners Bruce and Roberta Williamson sent a letter to staff members, longtime skaters and local media announcing the sale of the local skating rink, which they bought for $3.1 million in 2003. After two years of improvements—from a new Zamboni and sound system to a rooftop humidifier—the Williamsons extended their lease of the rink's building, at 218 West Main Street, through November 30, 2010. The Williamsons have the option to extend their lease through 2015, but write that they agreed to "allow cumulative losses up to $1 million."
