Voters approved the North Meck Rec Center as part of the 2008 bond referendum however funding for the project was not ultimately included in the package. The county purchased land in Cornelius off Old Stateville Road (Rt. 115) for the facility. Planning/Design funding for the project is included in this year's county budget and the county's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY19-23 includes approximately $40 million for the North Meck Rec Center.

This evening, Meck County Parks & Recreation Director Jim Garges will give a presentation on the project, including the proposed timeline, potential program elements, and opportunities for community engagement.
