Mr. Simon questioned how the new ballpark came about.
Todd Derifield, Leisure Services Interim Director, shared that the current ballpark was
established in 1946 and is in need of structural repairs and renovations. The estimated cost of
developing a new ballpark is approximately $5.4 million dollars. Due to the location being in a
flood zone, a feasibility study would be helpful before moving forward.
