Marion, Illinois is buzzing with excitement as plans for a $30 million multi-use sports complex are moving forward. The new facility will be able to host local and traveling baseball, softball, and soccer teams.
The sports complex will be located behind the former Illinois Star Center Mall, just west of Interstate 57 in Marion. This development is sure to be a game-changer for Marion, providing a much-needed space for sports teams to compete and bringing in revenue to the area.
Recently, the Marion city council and Williamson County board of commissioners signed a joint agreement with Oasis Sports to build this new facility. In addition to finalizing the agreement, new hotel tax ordinances were passed to help cover the financing for the project.
Construction is already underway, and residents can look forward to a state-of-the-art sports complex that will benefit the community for years to come. With spring 2025 as the expected completion date, this development is set to bring excitement and opportunity to Marion.
