K-ROCK CENTRE (REGIONAL SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE) ARCHIVE

Business Plan

The original business plan for the Kingston Regional Sports and Entertainment Centre (then called the LVEC) was written based on the facility being constructed at the Anglin Bay site on the Inner Harbour. In the fall of 2005, Council approved a change in the location of the facility, moving it to the North Block area. Although many aspects of the draft business plan remain unchanged, it should be noted that Council approved an updated financial plan for the Sports and Entertainment Centre on May 30, 2006. You can download the original business plan and access revised financial information using the links at right.


The Kingston Regional Sports and Entertainment Centre will be a signature sports and entertainment facility that will boast a strong civic function while delivering both economic and non-economic benefits to the entire Kingston region. The Sports and Entertainment Centre will have a distinctive design and appearance with first-class finishes both outside and inside the building.

From a functional perspective, the Sports and Entertainment Centre will include all amenities required to host concerts, family shows, theatre performances, trade shows and community events and to meet the needs of the people who will operate the building.

The Sports and Entertainment Centre will become the new home of the Kingston Frontenacs and the Kingston and District Sports Hall of Fame. It will include the construction and outfitting of food and beverage concessions, meeting rooms, private suites, and a four-sided video replay system. A 300-seat restaurant, complete with window seating, is also included in the plan.

The Kingston Regional Sports and Entertainment Centre will meet all standards and specifications required of a modern sports and entertainment facility. It will have a positive impact on the citizens of Kingston and on the City's image as a whole. It will act as an economic engine and a catalyst for change.
