VINCENNES, Ind. (We Are Knox County) - A Knox County basketball court may be getting an upgrade next spring.
A fundraiser is being organized by the Rotary Young Leaders of Vincennes to build two new basketball courts at Lester Square Park.
Fundraising efforts began in early October, with nearly $60,000 raised so far.
In addition to fundraising, the group is seeking money through grants, matching donations, and sponsorship opportunities.
The goal is to raise enough money by February so that construction on the new full-sized courts can begin in March.
New lighting will also be installed around the courts.
Once construction starts, it is expected to take about 30 days to complete, depending on the weather.
Those interested in making a donation or sponsorship opportunities are encouraged to contact a member of the Rotary Young Leaders of Vincennes or reach out through the group’s Facebook page.
