BENTON, Tenn. – Cindy Hooker, unit director of the Boys and Girls Club in Benton, has plans for a new facility as the club nears the end of its third year of operation in Polk County.

The club is seeking $400,000 in funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development program.

The money will allow it to build a facility on property donated by the county, she said. When completed, it will share acreage with a new soccer complex near Parksville Road.
