Boyd County court approves purchase of Camp Landing spaces for sports complex, including $6.27 million mall buy
Summary
The Boyd County Fiscal Court approved resolutions authorizing the judge executive to execute purchase agreements with Camp Investments LLC for a 112,000‑square‑foot indoor space at $6,270,000 and a separate 2‑acre parcel appraised at $614,000, intended for a large multiuse sports complex and an air‑dome facility. Votes were unanimous.
At a meeting of the Boyd County Fiscal Court, judges and commissioners approved two resolutions authorizing purchase agreements with Camp Investments LLC for property at Camp Landing that county leaders say will form the core of a new sports complex.
Court members approved a resolution authorizing the judge executive to execute an agreement to acquire approximately 112,000 square feet of interior space for a sale price read in the meeting as $6,270,000. The reading described plans to convert the interior into sports complex features including weight rooms, archery, and pickleball courts; officials said design work and interior demolition planning are underway. The court approved the resolution by roll call with affirmative votes recorded from the commissioners and the presiding official.
The court also approved a resolution authorizing purchase of a separate 2‑acre parcel, at an appraised value noted during the meeting as $614,000, that will host a 107,000‑square‑foot air dome intended to house large events and tournaments. Commissioners discussed trading an acre the county owns in the front portion of Camp Landing as part of the transaction; the purchase was described as subject to appraisal and the county said the trade will be documented in a separate agreement. The resolution carried on a roll call vote.
During discussion, the presiding official characterized the project as a major expansion of local event capacity: “This will really open the county up to be able to have … big events inside of it,” and described the complex as a multipurpose facility aimed at sports and convention‑style events. County staff noted the transaction is a second‑amendment step to extend previously negotiated deadlines and that some documents were voted on earlier in May.
Next steps described in the meeting include finalizing the purchase agreements and completing design and demolition planning. The court did not provide a construction schedule or separate budget breakdown in the meeting record. Questions about financing details for the purchases were not specified during the discussion.
The court recorded the resolutions as approved; the judge executive will be authorized to sign the purchase documents as provided in the resolutions.
