In a recent study Session, Casa Grande Community Services Director Daniel Gallegos presented City Council with data from a recent survey researching residents’ most desired services and facilities.
Casa Grande’s Sports Complex Concept plan examines new sports and multipurpose fields, along with a new aquatics facility featuring a heated pool.
Residents put the new aquatics center first among recreation amenities choices. Sports fields and hiking and cycling trails also received high scores.
A City concept plan puts a possible $27M aquatic complex next to the Community Recreation Center. The outdoor facility would feature main and recreational heated pools, as well as locker rooms and amenities.
The Concept Plan also features new multipurpose, baseball and softball fields totaling $39.6M in Ed Hooper Rodeo Park.
No timeline has been set for either project, nor has funding been established. Possible options include funds from community impact fees, a general obligation bond issue or sales tax revenues.
Pursuing a bond election could appear on the May 5 Council agenda. (Source)
