Jamestown (CSi) Supporters of the proposed Two Rivers Activity Center (TRAC) may ask for a request to have a Stutsman County one percent sales tax put on an election ballot, with part of the one-cent sales tax funding the facility.

A minimum of 1,500 valid signatures of county voters would be needed place a request on the ballot this year.

The $15 million to $20 million project is being developed by the Jamestown Parks and Recreation Commission, Jamestown Public Schools, James River Family YMCA, Jamestown Tennis Association and Jamestown Gymnastics Club.

The activity center would include basketball courts, an auxiliary gym, YMCA child care, an indoor playground for children, a climbing wall, fitness and aerobic workout rooms and weight training rooms, indoor/outdoor water park, with the indoor portion of the pool enabling year round use, a gymnastics area with room for competitions, community space for meetings and parties, and a sports bubble for year-round training for sports teams.

The sports bubble would have a turf surface that can be rolled up and the floor is set up for tennis courts.

The TRAC Committee is currently working with Jamestown Public Schools officials to have an appraisal on part of the school property by the high school where the center could be located, along with a lease agreement with JPS.
