In 2019, the city of Bowie, Maryland, signed off on plans to build a new ice rink with two sheets of ice that city leaders were told would make the facility profitable.
Then a year later, after a shakeup on the City Council, the city voted to scrap the project.
Now, the city is once again considering a new rink.
The City Council heard a presentation Monday from Minnesota-based 292 Design Group, which has built rinks all around the country. This new ice rink, with just one sheet of ice, would be built along Maryland Route 197 on property that already includes the city-owned golf course.
