Breckenridge, Minn (KBRF/KFGO) – Community leaders and local lawmakers are celebrating a $3 million state investment secured through this year’s bonding bill for the Infinity Center in Breckenridge.
The $22 million project is designed to bring health care, education, recreation, and economic development together under one roof for residents across the region.
“Our community has already privately raised $17.6 million, and this final investment will carry this transformational project across the finish line,” said Bruce Yaggie, Infinity Center group member.
The Infinity Center will serve as a regional destination for recreation, school programming, and community gatherings. It will support youth and adult leagues, tournaments, and everyday use. Planned amenities include basketball and volleyball courts, pickleball courts, batting cages, and an indoor walking track. It will also feature flexible space for larger events and tournaments.
Rep. Jeff Backer (R-Browns Valley) led efforts to support the project in the House. “The Infinity Center is more than just a community center, it’s an investment in the future of Breckenridge and the entire region, creating opportunities for families, supporting local growth, and bringing people together,” said Backer.
As a member of the Senate Capital Investment Committee, Sen. Jordan Rasmusson (R-Fergus Falls) helped advance the project through the bonding process. “The Infinity Center represents the vision and hard work of local leaders and community members,” said Rasmusson. “This center will be a space where kids can learn and play, neighbors can access important services, and it will open the door to infinite opportunities for the region.”
Beyond its recreational offerings, the project will also broaden access to important health care and educational services. The facility includes a Sanford Health clinic, which will relocate its current Wahpeton location to better serve area residents. Space may also be designated for alternative learning programs in collaboration with the local school district.
In addition to its public services, the Infinity Center is expected to serve as an economic driver for the Twin Towns region of Breckenridge and Wahpeton. By attracting visitors for tournaments and events, the facility is expected to increase hotel stays, restaurant traffic, and overall local spending. “This has been years in the making, and it’s a major milestone for Breckenridge and the surrounding region,” said Sydney Wiertzema, city administrator for the City of Breckenridge.
Construction of the Infinity Center began in April. The Sanford Health portion of the facility is expected to be completed by December 2026, with the full building anticipated to open in spring 2027.
