Ware County favors Concept 1 for new pickleball courts; state lawmaker secured $50,000
Summary
Recreation Director Lance Adamson and County Manager James Shubert recommended Concept 1 for eight pickleball courts at Trembling Earth Complex to minimize construction and land-clearing costs; Adamson plans to apply for a 50/50 grant up to $1 million and State Representative James Burchett secured $50,000 in the state budget.
Recreation Department Director Lance Adamson and County Manager James Shubert recommended Concept 1 for the proposed eight-court pickleball facility at Trembling Earth Complex because it would require less land clearing and lower construction costs than the alternative concept.
Adamson said he plans to apply for a grant that can fund up to $1 million but requires a 50% local match. Shubert noted that State Representative James Burchett secured $50,000 from the state budget to support construction. The county expects four courts on each side of the facility.
Commissioners accepted placement of the concept-selection item on the regular meeting agenda so the board may consider a formal selection and any associated matching commitments. No final commitment of county matching funds was made at the work session.
