The Complex: Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going

Two years ago The Complex became a goal for many in our community.  Community-minded people like you saw the need for a facility that would benefit everyone, young and old alike.  Although it has been a long journey, The Complex Board of Directors remains dedicated to providing Fulton with this multipurpose facility.

As we’ve worked to move forward with this project, we have encountered several obstacles that have prevented progress. The primary issue has been the purchase of the former Wild Wood Farms building.  Based on a purchase commitment, The Complex Board of Directors and volunteers aggressively moved forward with fundraising and renovating the building.  Several volunteers throughout the area devoted countless hours towards making this project a reality.  The Fulton Kiwanis Club, Fulton Key Club, and Prince of Peace students helped to transform the building into what it is today.  After all this work and months of delay, we conducted research for the continuing cause for the delay.  We finally learned that there is not a clear title to the building.  It is unknown when this title issue will be resolved; therefore, The Complex Board has made a decision not to pursue the purchase of the Wild Wood Farms Building as the home for The Complex. Consequently, we are investigating options for a new home and new facility.

The Complex Board is eager to provide this facility for the community as quickly as possible and won't postpone further development efforts.  New construction sites are currently being considered.  Our mission still is and always will be to develop a complex providing recreational, educational, and health related activities to enhance the quality of  life for all ages.  We thank you for your continued support as we move forward with this worthy project.  The Board will issue another update in sixty days concerning decisions that have been made regarding the site for our new home. 

Sincerely, The Complex Board of Directors

The Complex

The Complex is being opened in response to a large amount of people in Fulton and the surrounding communities requesting a recreation and community center.  There is no other facility that serves all age groups and interest levels in the area.  We are very proud of the diversity that is present on the Board of Directors, thus giving us a complete view of how we can best serve the entire community.

The Board is planning to open a 50-60K square foot facility that will feature a recreation center large enough to host tournaments and trade shows along with a 200 meter track and fitness center.  The community center will offer the space and amenities for individuals, businesses, and social groups to gather for various functions and activities.
