FLORENCE — A major sports training complex in the northern town limits with fields, courts, lodging, retail stores and family entertainment has been proposed.
Grinder Sports Group Inc.’s 350-acre project will require a Major General Plan Amendment and annexation into the town limits. It will be “designed to provide a catalyst and mind-body inspiration motivating athletes to become Olympians and professional athletes,” according to the application to the town.
“This is really exciting; this is something we’ve been working on and talking about for quite some time now, so it’s great to see it brought before us this evening,” Mayor Tara Walter said at Monday’s Town Council meeting.
