Location eyed for Kalamazoo County youth sports facility

Jane Gosch with Discover Kalamazoo said the location is within a 15-minute drive of several hotels around the county and is near a public transit line.
Plan would build youth sports facility in Kalamazoo County
The $40 million facility would be supported by hotel tax revenue and would fill a regional need for hardwood courts for basketball and volleyball games, according to organizers.
The location would still need to be brought to the county commission at meeting later this month for final approval.
