Alabama House approves Etowah County Mega Sports Complex Authority resolution


Rep. Craig Ford

The Alabama House passed a bill Thursday introduc  Ford initially sought approval for the resolution from the entire local delegation, but when Sen. Phil Williams, R-Rainbow City, expressed concerns about the need for the authority, Ford said he would seek approval just in the House. The main difference between the original resolution and the House resolution concerns the make-up of the authority. The resolution passed Thursday no longer calls for the area’s state senator to have an appointment to the authority.  The authority “shall study and report on the issue of developing a mega sports complex for Etowah County,” according to the resolution. The resolution said the study would examine the feasibility of a complex, what should be included, the location, cost of acquiring and maintaining a complex and possible funding sources.The authority, would then report to the legislative delegation no later than 60 days before the beginning of the 2015 regular session.
ed by Rep. Craig Ford, D-Gadsden, creating the Etowah County Mega Sports Complex Authority.
