Nome council hears plans for outdoor basketball court; staff seeks grants
Summary
Council members were told a proposed outdoor basketball facility at the recreation center is under design, could begin construction next season, and that staff have applied for four grants to help fund up to an estimated $200,000 project.
Council members on July 28 heard an update on a proposed outdoor basketball installation near the recreation center.
A staff member said the project site is being evaluated and drawings are being prepared. Site work could begin in the next building season, with the possibility of limited site work this week. Staff said they have applied for four grants to help offset costs and that a full, permanent facility could cost as much as about $200,000 depending on scope but could be built more cheaply if scaled down.
Council and staff discussed whether to build a full court or a smaller half‑court and whether lighting would be required, with staff saying lighting likely would not be needed initially. No formal action or funding decision was made at the meeting.
