A group of entrepreneurs wants to turn an empty Collinsville field into a major destination for air gun games.
The City Council is scheduled to vote Monday on a permit for The Break, a 48-acre course near Fairmount Park Race Track.
The park is planned on an empty parcel at 4604 Fairmont Ave. just west of the Collinsville Waste Water Plant and southeast of Interstate 255. Players on the course will use compressed air-powered guns for paintball and Airsoft, which uses pellets.
The developer is Crossroads Development Group, the same company marketing a $573 million soccer stadium near interstates 255 and 55/70 in Collinsville.
The Planning Commission approved the plans earlier this month.
