Knockdown the old school building on the west side of the community center to make a basketball court center
Final supporters
For years members of the Knox County Community Center have wondered about getting a gym or otherwise known as a basketball court for the community. The only problem is that we need space and funding and we can get space if we knockdown this building. If we can get this set up and get a gym then there will be more people that would sign up for a membership and we can have tournaments like 3v3 or 5v5 and we can have volleyball in there as well for the older people or even the younger people. In Knox County we only have run down park hoops and when it gets cold we have no where to play. If we can build this gym then we can play in the winter. This is a great start for the building of the gym. This would be great for the community, thank you for your time.

That building is such an eyesore and has been for years. Everyone is tired of driving to the next town just to play ball when we could have our own place right here.
Dave has been offered thousands of dollars for that building and refused to sell it. Maybe when he sees this, he might have a change of mind.
This would improve Knox County's basketball program. I wish this was an option when I was in school.
If they make it two stories and make the bottom one a pool and the top one a basket court it would get used a lot
The only problem with this situation is that David Davidson owns this building and is unwilling to sell it. It’s a great idea if u can get him to sell the lot so the building can be torn down and community center to build in!
Get in touch with Alex Reel or Les Cardwell maybe they can help
Ya but the old school building is privately owned....

My kids need somewhere to go in the winter months. The park is fine when its nice out but its useless once the snow hits.
