The Farmingdale State Development Corporation is seeking a long-term partner to design, build, and operate a multi-field athletic complex focusing on tournament lacrosse on the campus of Farmingdale State College. The complex should include multiple NCAA regulation-sized synthetic turf lacrosse fields, exterior perimeter fencing, field lighting, and optional support buildings and parking. The developer will be responsible for covering all costs associated with the project, including survey, engineering, site work, design, architecture, construction, legal fees, permitting, and operation of the complex.

• The developer should propose a concept including the number of fields, expected tournament usage, potential for campus use, and revenue opportunity for site utilization.
• The project requires a proven track record of organizing and hosting national-scale lacrosse tournaments.
• The developer should have experience with athletic facilities, restaurants, hotels, or other similar hospitality businesses.
