Marion, Illinois: A $30 Million Boost for Athletic Activities with New Sports Complex

Marion, Illinois is celebrating a major milestone as plans for a $30 million multi-use sports complex move forward. The sports complex is expected to cater to both local and visiting baseball, softball, and soccer teams. Located behind the former Illinois Star Center Mall, just off Interstate 57, the complex will be a hub for athletic activities in the region.

The Marion city council and Williamson County board of commissioners have approved a joint agreement with Oasis Sports to construct the new facility. In addition to approving the construction of the sports complex, new hotel tax ordinances were passed to help cover the financing of the project. The goal is to have the entire complex completed by spring 2025.

This development is a significant investment in the community of Marion, and is sure to bring economic growth and recreational opportunities to the area. Copyright 2024 KFVS. All rights reserved.
