ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The city would borrow $107 million to build a 210,000-square-foot indoor sports and events complex at Cameron Run Regional Park, replacing Great Waves Water Park with a year-round facility run by a nonprofit created by the Alexandria Soccer Association, under a proposal presented to City Council on Tuesday night.
The Alexandria Sports and Events Complex would cost $117 million. The operator would contribute $10 million and the city would borrow the rest through general obligation bonds, according to a presentation city officials previewed for reporters Tuesday afternoon under an embargo that lifted when the item reached the docket.
