More grants for youth sports facilities

If enacted, this would let federal economic development grants cover youth sports facilities and services. Cities, towns, and tribes could apply to build or improve fields, gyms, and recreation centers. Priority would go to very rural and underserved areas and to kids from low-income or high-risk communities. Projects could address obesity and mental health and help local jobs and nearby small businesses. Grants would still follow current program rules and depend on future funding.
