Jacqueline McCloskey, Director of Business Development at Fair Oaks Farms, emphasized the family-friendly aspect of the project, highlighting opportunities for families to participate in sports and leadership activities.
Fair Oaks Farms, known for its agriculture and hospitality, will provide visitors with experiences in agriculture and farm-fresh dining options. Construction on the Marvella Sports complex is set to begin this spring, and is expected to be completed by summer 2026. This groundbreaking project promises to open up new opportunities for young female athletes in Indiana.
