Bo Jackson Elite Sports and The Crown Point Parks and Recreation Department have announced a plan to build a sports facility by 2011.  The facility will be over 160,000 square feet and house soccer fields, basketball courts, softball fields, football fields, and volleyball courts.  Located near the intersection of I-65 and 109th Avenue in Crown Point, but is expected to draw residents and visitors from all over Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland for special events. 

Developers in this Lake County region continue to see speculation in commercial real estate around this new interchange that will serve the region.  This will spur construction expenditures in the region and is likely to employ many building industry subcontractors. 

This is the second of two new sports facilities coming to Northwest Indiana soon, as Hobart also announced a Sport and Convention Center Project that will be coupled with a new hotel.  Local officials are excited about the new projects bringing jobs and increasing tourism in the area, thus offering new revenues to business around Crown Point, Merrillville, and Hobart.
