Under the agreement, Alton Township would give the City of Alton $100,000 to build a Fitness Court. The agreement does not mention an exact location for the Fitness Court, other than within Alton city limits.

According to the resolution on Monday’s agenda, both parties agree it is “in the best interests of the public health, safety, and welfare of the Township and its residents, and the City and its residents,” to enter the agreement for the Fitness Court.

More details will likely come to light once the item is brought to the floor for consideration and a vote. The Committee of the Whole meets next on Monday, March 24 at 6 p.m.
