This project is a $32M athletic complex for field sports and includes adjoining privately held land for a Family Entertainment Complex. The project was to be done jointly with the County. The County has purchased the land near the I-485 and US 74 intersection and construction was to have begun this year. Bonds were approved by voters to build the complex but with the County’s debt diet this appears unlikely to happen anytime soon. We are now exploring the possibility of a public-private developer partnership in order to move the project forward. We are in the process of putting together a request for proposals to see what developers are interested in the project and how much money they will bring to the table for the project.
