Economic impact of the sports complex
In addition to the sports infrastructure being built, new residential, commercial and hospitality businesses are also planned to be constructed.
Facilities like this are often great economically for the area they are built in. Sports tourism is a huge industry and tournaments are held year-round—which will boost the local economy.
This venue represents a significant investment in the future of the region by creating a venue capable of attracting tournaments, teams, and families from across Alabama, Tennessee and the Southeast.
Synergy Sports
Synergy Sports, based out of Charlotte, North Carolina, is assisting with the project and helping guide the sports tourism process.
The organization has extensive experience in planning sports facilities like this, so their participation in the partnership will play a key role as they advance planning, public engagement and implementation.
