Feasibility study recommends $29.5M indoor sports complex; county to explore partnerships
Summary
A feasibility study presented to commissioners recommends a 95,000‑square‑foot indoor sports facility with an estimated $29.5 million cost and suggests a joint partnership between Sweetwater County, the cities of Rock Springs and Green River, and local school districts.
Chairman West described a feasibility study for an indoor sports facility that recommended a 95,000‑square‑foot building adjacent to the family recreation center with five indoor courts and two turf fields. He said the study estimated the project cost at $29,500,000 and suggested a partnership among Sweetwater County, Rock Springs, Green River and both school districts.
West said there appears to be community interest and that long‑term planning should continue despite current budget pressures. Commissioners acknowledged the need to consider cost, sustainability and maintenance obligations before committing to any funding. No formal vote or funding decision was taken; the item was presented for early discussion and possible future coordination among jurisdictions and school districts.
