In a small town like LaGrange, there are not a lot of different opportunities or activities for the community. An ice arena/civic center would open many new doors for not only kids, but the whole community.  One of the main focuses would be to start multiple youth programs, this would introduce kids to new sports like hockey and figure skating. Skating is a great and fun way to exercise, meaning this would encourage kids to stay active while also learning something new. Bringing a civic center to Lagrange would also mean there are many new jobs and volunteer opportunities. This facility could also be rented out for special events like weddings, school functions, birthday parties, etc. Public skating would also be offered for all ages to enjoy and bring this wonderful and growing community together! 

Civic centers not only provide activities/amenities within this community, it also creates a heart within a city. Civic Centers are shown to help improve the quality of life within a city. A civic center within LaGrange GA will provide a substantial boost in supporting the build of our local economies by encouraging small-scale businesses and local entrepreneurship through vending programs, farmer markets, locally sponsored events, and festivals.
