8/3/13 - A multimillion-dollar recreation complex that will include indoor and outdoor athletic fields, sports training and physical therapy services is being built on about 100 acres in Green Oak Township. Hamburg Township resident Rodney Goble is the co-owner of Michigan Rehabilitation Specialist, which is building the Legacy Center. He says he wanted to honor his family's sports legacy while helping others create their own. The project's first phase includes a 104,000-square-foot domed facility with a soccer and lacrosse field, outdoor fields and a 10,000-square-foot building for offices, concessions and fitness. Bordered by Whitmore Lake and Rickett roads off U.S. 23, it is expected to be completed by Nov. 1. The second phase includes a 170,000-square-foot field house, with a wellness center attached, softball fields, a baseball field and another outdoor field. Construction on that phase should begin in late 2014, with a fall 2015 opening.
