Motion to approve ice skating rink fails to pass again

A proposal to bring a synthetic ice skating rink to downtown Fort Scott still could not gain enough votes to pass the Fort Scott City Commission on April 16.

In a fourth appearance before the commission, Diane Striler and Cory Bryars, representing a local group that is trying to bring the amenity to town, brought to commissioners a memorandum of understanding that outlines the city’s involvement, as well as the involvement of the group making the proposal.
