FARMINGTON — Utah leaders broke ground for a new sports park facility Tuesday, ushering the next level of sports tourism to Davis County.
Kent Anderson, county director of community and economic development, said the remodel will create "a youth sports destination." The $64 million project is one of the largest investments made in Davis County, he said. Part of the sports park's appeal comes from its location, with easy access to the Salt Lake Airport, FrontRunner stations, Interstate 15, Lagoon amusement park and the upscale Station Park shopping mall.
"This sporting facility is the result of so much good work from listening and engaging with community members from the leadership that we've seen from commissioners and leaders in Davis County," Merrill said. Kids from the Davis County area take a turn tuning dirt at a groundbreaking event for a new sports facility in Farmington on Tuesday. The state-of-the-art facility aims to expand sports tourism in Davis County.
