It's official. USA Basketball is leaving Colorado Springs and moving to Arizona.
The sports national governing body announced Wednesday morning that it has agreed to be part of a $350 million project located next to the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, Ariz. The decision to relocate was made at a USA Basketball board meeting on July 25.
A new headquarters and basketball training center will be constructed on a 10.5 acre site at that location, USA Basketball said. USA Place, LLC is the developer contracted to do the work
"This is an exciting and an incredible opportunity that offers nothing but positives for USA Basketball," said USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo in a press release.
Among the amenities at the USA complex will be a 4,500-seat event center, a 330-room Omni Hotel, 30,000-square-foot conference center, 500-luxury apartments and several hundered thousand square feet of retail and office space.
The development plan now needs to be approved by the Tempe City Council and Arizona Board of Regents.
