The Gainesville City Council is prepared to approve funding for the design of a youth sports complex when it meets at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the municipal courtroom of the Public Safety Complex. About $450,000 in impact fee revenue (which comes from new construction fees) will be used to fund this first phase. Special purpose local option sales tax money will be used to construct the $6.75 million complex, the city’s first youth sports fields in more than 30 years.
