Commission boosts baseball sponsorship to $10,000 as local team moves to higher-level league
Summary
After a request for sponsorship to support Brigade Baseball—s move into a new, larger league, commissioners approved a $10,000 donation to support the team and help host more home games, citing local economic benefit.
Cecil, representing Brigade Baseball, asked the county to support the team as it joins a larger regional league. The county previously provided smaller contributions; this meeting the commission moved to increase the contribution to $10,000 to support the team's travel, hosting and recruiting needs.
Commissioners discussed the expected number of home games, estimating roughly 20—to—25 home games in the upcoming season; they said hosting more games would bring visitors and broader exposure to the community. One commissioner moved to increase the county contribution to $10,000. The motion was seconded and approved.
The county will record the $10,000 donation to the community baseball sponsorship program and notify the team and CVV of the approved amount.
Provenance: The request and vote occurred during the CVV/community events segment of the agenda.
