According to a recent article from News10 ABC, the City of Saratoga Springs is partnering with Skidmore College to improve the city-owned ice skating rinks on Weibel Avenue. Skidmore College currently leases time at the city’s rink for hockey practices and games, and thanks to this partnership, the college has been authorized to build a new hockey locker facility. In addition, Skidmore will give the city over $600,000 for license fees and projects, such as a new traffic light at the rink entrance and upgrades at both rinks.
