In addition to finalizing the agreement, new hotel tax ordinances were passed to help cover the financing for the project. This development is sure to be a game-changer for Marion, providing a state-of-the-art sports complex that will benefit the community for years to come. With construction underway, residents can look forward to a much-needed space for sports teams to compete and bring in revenue to the area.
