If you talk to our track athletes, they desperately wanted the indoor facility.  During the summer, most see no problem practicing at their old high school.  Distance runners have the perfect facility in Mill Creek Park.

Long-range plans call for an outdoor track west of Fifth Avenue.  That can only happen with a new round of private donations.  Compared to having your name associated with the WATTS center, that is going to be a very hard sell to the local fat cats.

Thanks for the info.  I was getting nervous as nothing was happening for the entire month.  Your explanation has eased my concerns.

Just a quick update.  The site has been cleared and graded down to level dirt. There is no construction going on yet. Since about 75% of this facility is basically a warehouse, and warehouses can be constructed very quickly, this facility should go up rapidly.  Of course, starting construction would be nice.
