Show 12 In tagrtii Tims West Valley News, Thursday, July 20, 1995 West Valley businesses 'jump on bandwagon supporting ice rink . The recent announcement that West Valley City may become the home of an Inter- Games ice arena is exciting,' national Hockey League (IHL) team has local Hardees Restaurants and 1995 president of the Valley West Chamber of Commerce. I see the marketing potential opening up a whole new realm of possibilities as Olympic fever ignites the area. Hardees supported the Golden Eagles when they businessmen cheering. West Valley City is negotiating to join the Salt Lake Olympic Organizing Committee to erect a 10,000-seice arena just east of Interstate Highway 215 north of 3500 South. And the arena, if approved, would become the new home of the currently homeless Denver Grizzlies Hockey said Pam Ostmark, marketing director of er at Team. The announcement that West Valley City is being considered for the 2002 Winter like this? Dave Nicponski, director of public affairs for Alliant Techsys terns (formerly Hercules), one of West Valleys largest employers, concurs. Obviously were very supportive of West Valley City and its desire to improve the i witwiwnit recreation standards of the community and the entire county, he said. Our experience with West Valley City management is that it is fiscally prudent and the city is financially stable. He noted that Alliant Techsystems is also an Olym- were here, and were anxious to be introduced to the Grizzlies. Referring to the proposed . site, she said, It makes great sense to choose this site. How could the Olympic pic supporter and conCommittee turn down a site tributor, and they are excited at the prospect of the Olympic Organizing Committee being able to retain $8 million, since West Valley needs only $7 million of the $15 million budgeted for the VISA, MASTERCARD, and DISCOVER for your convenience!

Besides, many of our employees, as well as the general public, are hockey fans. We need hockey, and we need it now. Kathi Lund, marketing director of the Valley Fair Mall, added: Youve got to take advantage of the opportunities when they come knocking. She noted that the Valley Fair Mall just southwest of the proposed arena site is the geographical center of Salt Lake Valley. It is a perfect opportunity to be home of the Grizzlies, and to help facilitate an Olympic venue. Dick Flack, mall manager who also serves on the Valley West Chamber of Commerce Economic Development ' Committee, agrees. Were delighted to see such a comclose to our patible land-us- e doorstep, that Lund emphasized Grizzlies management were pleased with West Valley's, community support of hockey. We have found over the years that local residents are extremely community oriented and very loyal. It makes sense to build in an area with that kind of support. Flack noted that studies show the travel time because of and State from BounHighway 201 tiful, Sandy, and the east bench of Salt Lake City is approximately 15 minutes. It would bring fans to within a block of the arena, provide easy exit off the interstate, and uncomplicated parking.

This fluctuates because one property may sell for $100,000 and a similar home in the same neighborhood value, Every home will be reevaluated, Gardner said. Valuation will be based on a complex formula including changes and improvements; budget base; changes in state law; and the rise or fall of property values in that area. But the increase this year in property value will be offset some by the increased exemption offered by the state from 32 to 45 percent , 1 Gardner neighborhoods, 15 Chamber president, is enthused about the community identity and pride such a facility would generate.
