Update from Dinger Nation

The sports performance facility coming to Gasport has this update:

"Wanted to give a update as we have been getting a lot of questions about opening. As you can see things are moving along slower than we planned. No fault to anybody it's just the nature of what is going on in today's world. A few big items need to happen before we can move in. A completely new engineered roof must be installed. Once that is complete the build out can be completed for the gym.

All the gym equipment, batting cages, turf and miscellaneous items have been purchased and ready to go!

We are very humbled by the very large amount of interest the community has shown in this business and can't wait to get going! We will continue to update as we move along."
