GCCC Plans to Spend Over Two Million to Improve Facilities

Garden City Community College plans to spend $2.2 million to improve its athletic facilities.

The college’s board of trustees on Tuesday authorized the project, which will include an eight-lane collegiate track and football and women’s soccer fields.

The Garden City Telegram reports the improvements wil lbe made at the site of the current track next to the Tangeman Sports Complex.

College president Herbert Swender says the project will be funded by the school’s general fund, increased student tuition and fees, and donations.

The school hopes to have the project completed by August 16.
