PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – As we reported earlier this year, the new sports arena in downtown Kalamazoo isn’t the only sports complex that may be in our future.
Discover Kalamazoo has been scouting around for sites to build multiple indoor basketball, volleyball and other courts to attract youth tournaments to the community.
They are apparently looking at two sites, neither of them in Portage.
Last night, Air Zoo CEO Troy Thrash lobbied the Portage City Council to consider backing an undeveloped site next to the aviation museum off Portage Road.
He says it will bring 600 new jobs and a lot of traffic to the lucky community that gets picked.
Portage City Manager Pat McGinnis says it’s a great idea.
A lot of things have to happen before ground is broken, including financing, so we haven’t heard the last about this.
