Need For New Roof At Houghton County Arena Dire

The Houghton County Arena needs a new roof, and soon.

Dave Hermanson, along with other members of the Portage Lake Multi-Ed, informed the Houghton County Board of Commissioners of the imminent situation regarding the roof at the arena.

The Portage Lake Multi-Ed is the management board of the arena.

They estimate the cost of a new roof to be as high as $250,000.

Commissioner Scott Ala asked the rest of the board to start considering ways to pay for the roof, though funding would need to come from multiple sources.

County Administrator Eric Forsberg said he would need to see an actual cost of the roof before any further action could be taken.
