The Sussex County Council is not quite ready to offer $1.5 million to help pay for a new $4 million sports and park complex.
After getting a presentation from officials with the Sussex County Sports Center council members decided to get more input from the public.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Bobby Horsey with the leadership committee for the Sports Complex told the council that he believed the project would be “a great thing for the county.”
The facility would have eight regulation lacrosse and soccer fields as well as a cross country course.
The newspaper reports that 59 percent of the funding would come from donations from the private sector while Georgetown would kick in $25-thousand and the state of Delaware another $275-thousand.
But there was a word of caution from Council Member George Cole who noted that Salisbury already has such a complex and wanted to hear about the need for such a facility.
