Service clubs asked to help set up sports complex, vo-tech school and visitors center in Marble Falls
MARBLE FALLS — Mayor George Russell is asking local service clubs to help promote three community projects endorsed by City Council and other local leaders — a vo-tech center, a regional sports complex and a visitors center. Russell during a workshop May 3 asked the clubs to consider what their membership could do to help get the trio of projects off the ground.
“It wouldn’t have to be much,” Russell said. “It could be very small.”
The creation of a sports complex — which could cost as much as $10 million — and a vocational-technical school have surfaced during recent months as priority projects that could help rejuvenate the city’s economy and social stability, Russell said.
Also, a new visitors center to replace a converted train depot with limited parking is also needed, officials added.
“All three of these projects have been identified as something we would like to have,” Russell said.
The projects are going through conceptual development, he added.
The mayor spoke during a conference with representatives from the Marble Falls Kiwanis Club, Lions Club, Highland Lakes Sertoma, Highland Lakes Service League, Daybreak Rotary Club of Marble Falls and the Marble Falls Noon Rotary Club.
