Indoor Sports Multiplex (Project Grace) — Premier Sports Campus
Description
A ~$75-85 million private ice-sports and multiplex facility on about 22 acres, with a 60-year county ground lease, up to $5 million in tourist-tax infrastructure help, and 20% of parking garage revenue to the county; the board approved the business terms and staff will bring a lease back in August-September.
Impact summary
Could generate roughly $30 million a year in economic activity and add tournament-level ice to the sports campus, with no county construction dollars.
