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