Caroline County approves $566,167 for LED lighting at baseball and softball fields

The Caroline County Board of Supervisors voted to install LED lighting and replace deteriorating poles at both the county baseball and softball fields, approving a combined contract totaling $566,167 and directing that the funds come from the county’s unencumbered fund balance. The decision followed staff presentations showing a savings of about $90,000 when both fields are upgraded together and testimony that the existing wooden poles are over 30 years old and failing.
