LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — The fun will continue at the Luzerne County Fairgrounds when the fair is over every year. 

The plan for a sports dome complex has obtained state funding. 

Senator Lisa Baker announced nearly $2,000,000 for the project, which will use unused land on the property. 

The new project will include the nearly 110,000-square-foot dome facility with a turf field for year-round sports. 

"The Luzerne County Fair Sports Dome is a vision come to life, a place where youth and community members can come together in a shared space dedicated to sports, wellness, and growth," said Baker. 

It will be a hub for athletes to train for sports like soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, football, basketball, volleyball, and pickleball. 

The venture is a team effort of the Back Mountain Soccer Club and the Luzerne County Fair.
