Blair Co., PA (WJAC) — In Blair County, Logan Township officials are touting new funding that they say will help with the construction of multiple soccer fields.

Officials say they were recently awarded $853,000 in funding for the sports park.

The park will be located on a 100-acre piece of land located on the Juniata side of Altoona and the Homers Gap side of Logan Township.

“It's really a nice place to go, a nice place to visit and it'll be a plus for all the residents and everybody involved, not to mention the kids who love playing soccer. It gives them a new field; someplace else they can go to.
