Winnsboro approves EDC reimbursements for ballpark concession repairs and field lights
Summary
The City approved Economic Development Committee reimbursements: $7,000 for concession/restroom repairs at Ryan’s Park and up to $8,000 for repairs or replacement of ballfield lights to be reimbursed with receipts.
The Winnsboro City Council approved Economic Development Committee (EDC) reimbursement requests to support softball and baseball facilities, voting to reimburse $7,000 for concession and restroom repairs at Ryan’s Park and to approve up to $8,000 to repair or replace ballfield lights.
At the EDC meeting the Winnsboro Softball Association requested incentives for concessions and restroom repairs; council approved the $7,000 reimbursement with receipts as the final approval. Council later approved an EDC request to fund repair or replacement of ballpark lights up to $8,000, also reimbursable with receipts. Council discussion clarified the two items are separate—one for concessions/restrooms and one for lighting.
Councilman Hollowell moved the lights item; the motion passed by voice vote. The lights project was described as encompassing both Blinds Park and Walker Park if funds are available and if the Winnsboro Baseball Softball Association handles the project. The council did not specify a funding source beyond the EDC-approved incentive and did not attach a construction schedule in the motion.
Both expenditures were approved as reimbursements requiring submission of receipts. The council’s packet included EDC approval letters and related staff reports; no public comment was recorded on these items during the meeting.
