The vision for the facility is for it to be self-funded from an operational standpoint and to be an economic driver for county businesses as a sports and community complex. This would be done through hosting elite athletic tournaments, recruiting related business tenants and trade shows. Funding for project development would be done through grants, private investment and general county funds, the release said.
“This proposed project will not increase taxes for any resident,” Murphy said in the release. “The final numbers on this project have not come in yet, but several community stakeholders have come forward wanting to partner on this project. Should this project proceed, it will be a collaboration with multiple public and private entities.”

A man has been charged with last year’s killing of Tray Savage, a rapper signed to Chief Keef’s record label, after he was extradited to Chicago from Texas.
Investigators identified Demitri Jackson as the gunman from surveillance video that shows him walking with a distinctive limp before and after killing Savage, whose real name was Kentray Young, Cook County prosecutors said in a court document.
Prosecutors didn’t offer a motive for the June 19 shooting, saying only the two were affiliated with the same gang faction and spoke briefly 15 minutes before the shooting in the 8100 block of South Evans Avenue.
