The gist
Argyle Sports Academy will be an indoor sports academy with 20 badminton and pickleball courts, along with a pro shop.
It will be located on 2.35 acres within Argyle Landing, a community of 198 single-family homes currently being developed.
The site plan shows the building will be a 33,600-square-foot building that is 48 feet high, according to town documents.
The project is proposed to be completed in two phases, with Phase 1 consisting of 24,000 square feet, and Phase 2 adding 9,600 square feet to the facility, town documents state.
The sports academy will have 84 parking spaces, which exceeds how many parking spaces the town requires, per town documents.
Construction is expected to begin next year and take nine months to complete, Community Impact previously reported.
