TJ Robinson Center rental for youth sports ($50,000)
Hope Mills
Summary
Parks and Rec rents the TJ Robinson Center for $50,000 because growing basketball, volleyball and cheerleading programs have outgrown town gyms. Some commissioners questioned paying for practices; staff warned cutting it means cutting programs and revenue, and noted safety issues with cheerleading in a low-ceiling multipurpose room.
