The 220,000-square-foot facility will be located along the new I-75 frontage road Ford Lane between West Road and Van Horn, and will be located adjacent to a 65-acre nature area with public access to walking, running, and biking trails.
In addition, more than 40 acres along I-75 will be developed with hotels, restaurants, retail and other complimentary commercial uses. Grand opening for the sports facility is planned for early October 2019.
