Plans
for a sports complex that will provide multiple tournament-quality
playing fields for baseball, soccer and football was approved by
the board of supervisors Monday.
The
$1.3 million project will see the construction of two little
league-size fields, including one that's convertible to a softball
field, a tee-ball field and a football/soccer field. The plan also
includes three practice fields.
Several
residents turned out Monday in support of the proposed effort, for
which the board held a public hearing.
Angie
Mutter, speaking on behalf of the Buchanan County Soccer
Association, said the construction of a field for local soccer
athletes was essential.
