Construction of the new HTX Gym is set to begin in January 2014.
The new HTX Gym, a $1.2 million project consisting of the construction of a 17,500 square foot facility, will provide basketball, volleyball and a wide variety of youth-oriented programs. The facility will include 2 basketball courts or 4 volleyball courts, a lounge and concession area.
Since 2005, local southeast youth, particularly in the basketball and volleyball, have been in need of some type of facility in the local community that would provide for youth oriented programs. Not only did they garner strong support from the community at large, but they have continued their input and have worked side by side with HTX Gym officials and design consultants to help guide both the program development and actual physical design of the building.
The gym will be located on the Friendswood/Alvin border,within the Ron Carter International Soccer Complex. The estimated date of completion in June. The facility will be taking reservation request starting in March.
