On Airway, just past the middle school there are plans for a park. I noticed this sign three or four years ago, and then is disappeared and the area became a staging area for the Flying fortress construction. I had heard it is to be a soccer complex. They have improved the drainage on Airway in preparation for developing the area. AI says $7,000,000 have been set aside for the first step which will include sprinkler system and high quality turf that will withstand desert conditions. There are plans for soccer, softball and baseball and the turf should withstand year round play. There will be a need for $14,000,000 additional funds for later stages which likely will be raised through a bond. The park is called the Sunbelt Sports Project. This project will begin after the completion of Flying Fortress. Flying Fortress ribbon cutting is scheduled for October 5.
