“We believe this will be a catalytic development that will open up the C.H. James Parkway corridor to future businesses, but also help drive development in the city as a whole,” said Shaun Myers, special projects coordinator for the city of Powder Springs.

Stephanie Gabbert, chief operating officer for Westside Woods, said while the complex could boost tourism in Powder Springs from tournaments and other events, she said it also will be a “local resource to kids and adults, regardless of playing ability” and offer programming for the entire community.

“We’re just really excited to get started, and the city has been pretty amazing in helping support us to try to get this off the ground,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of exceptional local support and interest from business owners and other folks. We’re just glad that we’re able to join the Powder Springs business community and hopefully help lift everybody with this project as well.”
