McHenry County Sportsplex developer asking for more time

McHenry County Sportsplex LLC wants to put the 100-plus-acre sports facility southwest of the intersection of Routes 47 and 176.

Designs for the two-phase project include playing fields for soccer, baseball, lacrosse, basketball and volleyball. A 125,000- to 150,000-square-foot building would house a restaurant, retail space and indoor sports facilities. There also would be an outdoor arena able to accommodate local, national and international teams.

The SportsPlex gained notice in August 2010 when it was listed in a report of 100 stimulus-funded projects considered boondoggles by two U.S. senators.
