Plans to give the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame a permanent home continue moving forward.
The man spearheading the project, Mike Pollio, says fundraising efforts have netted nearly a million dollars so far.
“We’re really excited about where we are,” said Pollio. “You know a million dollars is obviously a lot of money in today’s times. We’re only about $120 thousand short of building it.”
Pollio says they hope to break ground in July. The Hall of Fame could open a year later. The Elizabethtown City Council is expected to vote next week on giving organizers a title to the property on West Dixie Avenue.
Preliminary designs call for a historic church to be used as part of the Hall of Fame. A new building will be constructed next to it.
