New Family Event Center Set to Open in Marion

March 2 opening planned for the new venue

By Verna Slate, Williamson County Bureau

MARION — A new family event center in Marion is set to officially open March 2, KFVS12 reported.

Further details on the center's location, offerings, or ownership were not included in the initial report. Marion has spent recent years adding to its list of attractions beyond the mall and the interstate exits — the civic center, and now, it appears, a dedicated family venue. For a county still measuring itself against what the coal economy used to provide, every new business that opens its doors and hires local is worth tracking.

The American Times will follow up with details on the center's offerings as they become available.
