The city has committed up to $3 million for the athletic fields project, which will connect eventually to the residence hall site.City Council President Kyle Pike is excited about what the new Calhoun facilities will add to this area, which is currently getting a facelift thanks to the 6th Avenue beautification efforts initiated by the last mayor and council.“You know they’ve got a lot going on in downtown, this is kind of on the other side of 6th Avenue, it ties a little bit into the 6th Avenue project,” Pike said.“I’ve said for years that you really want 6th Avenue to feel like you’re driving downtown instead of past downtown, and so seeing the development on the east side of 6th Avenue will start to pull some of that together.”Renderings for the new Calhoun dormitory and athletics projects will be available in the next few weeks.</div></body>
