The developers of a proposed sports complex on the former MassMutual campus in Enfield are seeking local land-use approvals as they move the project forward.
Fast Track Realty LLC has submitted project plans to the Enfield Inland Wetlands Agency for the ambitious All Sports Village, a multi-building sports complex that would feature indoor and outdoor fields and courts, and a hotel, a family entertainment center and restaurants and bars on nearly 70 acres at 85 and 100 Bright Meadow Blvd. The parcel at 113 Brainard Road is also part of the project.
The buildings on-site are currently vacant and feature 430,000 square feet of space, including a small day care facility that will be torn down. Several fields will be built on areas that are now parking lots.
The site is near Interstate 91 and Route 5, close to Brainerd Park and land owned by the Connecticut Water Co. The wetlands agency will continue to review the plan application at its next meeting later this month.
The project, originally pitched more than a year ago, has gone through several plan adjustments, including an approved zone change, but remains relatively intact and on track, said Andy Borgia of Fast Track.
He said it’s a complex project and his team is continuing to work through the proper channels. Plans call for improvements to existing buildings and constructing a new basketball building where the day care is, as well as a new maintenance building.
Borgia said the development will create hundreds of jobs and generate economic growth for the area through taxes and potential new developments around the sports complex.
The full plan will go to the Planning and Zoning Commission after wetlands, Borgia said.
