More Jobs Coming as Harrisburg Welcomes New Sports Academy, Restaurant

We've answered the question of "What's that big building going up in Harrisburg?" on our morning show more than once. So, here's a few details of the new recreation complex being built along Industrial road.

Northeast Harrisburg will soon be the sight of a 55,000 sq. foot indoor sports and recreation center, with plans for nearby land dedicated to even more sports activities such as baseball and sand volleyball.

According to the Sioux Falls Business Journal, owner Gary Sperber said the new Perfect Practice Sports Academy will host basketball, volleyball, softball, soccer, and baseball.

In addition, a new 300-seat, 9,000 sq. foot restaurant will also open on the grounds. It will be called Game Changer and has a target goal to open in June. It's future menu will feature some area favorites like the Black Jack Burger, brats, BBQ, gyros, pizza, and signature sandwiches.

With plans to open the project's first phase in March a number of job openings will need to be filled. A job fair will be held in March.
