The Junction City South Kiwanis Club will break ground this week on a new basketball court project.

Club spokesman Jim Germann stated the Club has raised about $8,000 for the project over the last six years. “But we applied for a grant from the Kiwanis International Foundation, and they gave us $14,500 to finish our project.”

Germann said the new court will be 50-feet by 80-feet long, the same size as the courts at the 12th Street Community Center. There will be six goals.

The groundbreaking for the project is Saturday ( April 2 ).
