WEST CHESTER, Ohio - Voice of America Park already brings in a lot of visitors to Butler County, but this big attraction is set to become even bigger.
The park will have a new addition in 2014 when a brand new sports complex is constructed.
County officials say they expect a 5-year projected economic impact of $20 million and 105 jobs to be added to the local economy.
Beyond the economic impact, many new events will come with the complex, bigger than past years' archery and triathlon championships.
One hundred acres of the existing 400 will be used to build the sports complex, which will feature 22 natural grass fields.
