Construction began on Race America Inc.’s new building, The Centre, on Thursday, Feb. 4, off Canoe Road just outside the city limits of Elgin.
The 30-acre complex, being built by former Valley cross country coach Lowell Lyngaas of rural Postville, will feature a large community center, a 1-1/2 mile to 2-mile winding walking/running trail, a shower/bathroom complex, and a pond, on which ice hockey could be played in the winter.
