Proposed $1.2M Olympic-style archery center on track for Rockford

The Rockford Independent reports that a proposed Olympic-style archery center has received funding from multiple sources and looks to break ground soon.

According to excerpts from the story:

Youth and adults in archery programs through the Rockford Sportsman's Club soon may have access to a four-season, Olympic-style training facility. Club members hope as early as this summer.

The sportsman's club recently received a $500,000 grant from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (NRTF) through Algoma Township.

The township applied for the funding on behalf of the club, which will construct the nearly $1.2 million archery center on its existing property at 11115 Northland Drive. The property will be leased to Algoma for $1 to become a public park by name, however the site will continue to be maintained and operated by the sportsman's club.
