City approves plan for seasonal ice rink

Posted: Updated:

Columbia City Council met on Tuesday night to discuss several issues, but they also voted to approve a plan that would build a seasonal ice rink on Main Street.

Council voted unanimously to give approval to the plan.

The ice rink would be placed in Boyd Plaza near the Columbia Museum of Art beginning close to Thanksgiving and remain in place until the new year begins.

The installation and removal of the rink will cost approximately $158,500.

Officials say they modeled the idea after an outdoor rink in Greenville.
