County to use Flint River Academy fields for 2025 recreation football season; Greenville field kept as backup
Summary
After meeting with Greenville city officials and school representatives, staff recommended and the board approved using Flint River Academy for the 2025 recreation football season and to keep the City of Greenville field as a backup while the county explores agreements with the Board of Education for other uses.
Meriwether County commissioners voted May 5 to use Flint River Academy’s athletic facility for the county’s 2025 recreation football season and to keep the City of Greenville field as a backup in case the city cannot finish necessary improvements before season start. Staff said the city is willing to invest in its field but may not be able to complete required parking and site work in time; Greenville High School could be used for playoffs if a formal agreement with the Board of Education is reached.
Staff recommended the Flint River Academy option to avoid last-minute schedule disruptions, and commissioners approved the recommendation. Staff and city representatives will continue working on agreements and schedules to ensure facilities are available for regular-season play and postseason events.
