Indian Trail staff present community‑center concept with full‑size turf field; $4 million in phase funds could build field
Summary
Staff presented 'Concept 2B' for a future community center that includes a theater, gymnasium and a full‑size turf field; the council discussed phasing and noted roughly $4 million remain in park phase funds that could be used to build the turf field first.
Town Manager Adam Mlam showed a revised Concept 2B for the town’s proposed community center and said the design can accommodate a full‑size turf field adjacent to the building footprint.
"We can fit that full‑size field on the property," Mlam said, emphasizing the concept includes theater, core/gym space and the turf field. He said staff and consultants had produced an illustrative site plan and that council could phase construction if it chose to move forward.
Council members discussed funding pathways and fundraising ambitions for a larger facility. Mlam noted about $4 million remains in the park project phase two funds and said that sum could be used to grade the site and build the turf field and parking as an initial phase. Council members urged the preparation of renderings and internal designs to support future fundraising efforts and community outreach.
Council did not take a formal vote on the concept; staff said the item will return on a future agenda for further direction and potential motion.
