MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Plans moved forward Monday for a new community recreation center in Marinette.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the 114,000 square-foot space.
The site is located on Pierce Avenue across from Marinette High School.
It will include an ice arena, a turf area for sports, a walking track and meeting rooms.
There will also be a convention space, which Marinette mayor, Steve Genisot, tells WLUK there’s a high demand for
“We’ve had a need from local corporate people saying that they need somewhere for families and corporate events, not only for the families to do with recreation”
The project costs $16.1 million.
Construction is expected to finish in spring of next year.
