The foundation is seeking additional capital partners for the development of the facility.
“Our family has received many requests from local teams and sports programs looking for indoor facilities and we wanted to help. We have done the research and there is a great need for this facility in our area. This grant will support and expand our vision for the Community Recreational Campus,” said Paul DeAngelo, founder of the Paul and Lisa DeAngelo Family Foundation.
