If you remember during the Highland Lake Golf Club kerfuffle, it came out that the Henderson County Soccer Association had an already existing lease with the Town of Fletcher to develop 48 acres of property near the ArvinMeritor plant on Rockwell Road. The agreement ended up going nowhere and the property has remained undeveloped.
Well, it looks like that may finally change:
Fletcher Town Council has agreed to sell 4 acres of land the town owns off Rockwell Drive to the developers of an indoor sports arena, financing the deal over a decade.Sounds interesting.
Following months of negotiation between developers and town officials, council this month approved a purchase agreement that would allow SoccerZone WNC to acquire the property for $165,000 over 10 years following a six-month period of due diligence.
In December, council members had agreed to sell or lease part of a 93-acre tract the town owns near Meritor Inc. after being approached by SoccerZone WNC's partner, including local insurance agent Chuck Roper and former East Henderson High athlete Darren Brown. . .
SoccerZone WNC plans to offer two indoor turf fields and perhaps outdoor fields as well, along with an "upper deck sports bar" for parents to enjoy while watching their kids play below.
Indoor soccer will only be "about a quarter" of the business, Roper said. Developers hope to offer flag football, basketball, dodgeball, pickleball, birthday parties, sports clinics, summer camps and indoor practice space for school athletic teams. . .
