Valley City (CSi) Preliminary plans for a $16-million Health and Wellness Center in Valley City were reviewed Monday, along with taking public input on the project.

Valley City Development Group’s Jennifer Feist said the City Commission has unanimously approved placing two questions on the November 4, 2014 election ballot for the project.

JLG Engineer, Dan Miller presented a layout of both floors.

The facility plans call for three indoor basketball courts, in conjunction with two tennis courts.

At the meeting a number of Valley City residents and business owners voiced concerns.

A question concerned if membership would be required to have access to swimming lessons in the future, as officials said there would be no requirement.

Another concern was if Valley City State students would pay an extra fee to fund the project.

ORB Management has been holding focus meetings with stakeholders and community members.

Additional hearings are planned to gather public input and feasibility on the planned wellness center.

Another hearing will be scheduled for sometime in mid-October
