The features of this new complex will include two full size fields, consession stand, restrooms, a hitting facility and a dressing room area.
The architect for the project is Boynton Williams and Associates.
Although they haven’t put out for bids yet, Van Tuyls estimates this project to be $3 – 4 million dollars, paid for out of the Building Fund.
Van Tuyl said this project will be completed in phases and will be completed in the next two years.
This fully functioning property will be located just east of the AG facility on Allied Road, just south of Interstate 44.
