I’ve recently heard there is a sports complex project planned for the community. Where is it being built and when?
The Sports Complex will be built at the existing location at Carbon and Forest Streets. Site preparation entails the removal of a few trees, playground equipment, sidewalks on the north and west side, fencing around the basketball and tennis courts, the lighting, and all netting and goals. The site preparation work could possibly begin as early as June 1, 2009. During the transition phase of site preparation and beginning construction the number of courts available to the public will be reduced to one basketball court only. The engineering firm has estimated that the project could go to bid as early as September 1, 2009 with a projected completion date of January 2010. The project will include a new tennis court, two half-court basketball courts, a full court basketball court, a small skate park, new perimeter lighting, perimeter and interior fencing, rest stations, water fountains, off-street parking, landscaping, and new sidewalks. uBdget permitting, a restroom will be added.
