Contractors begin site work for Northern Lehigh baseball/softball complex renovations, board hears update
Summary
District administrators introduced representatives from ELA Group and LandTech and a contractor said permitting took months; crews were onsite staking out work and construction was expected to begin soon for the approved baseball/softball renovations.
District officials told the board that site work for a previously approved baseball and softball complex renovation has begun and contractors who led design/permitting discussed the project's long lead time.
An administrator (S1) said he saw equipment on Bulldog Lane early that morning and that representatives from ELA Group and LandTech were present to answer last‑minute questions about the renovation. A contractor (S13) thanked the board and said the project had been in discussion since about 2017 and that permitting approaches had been ‘‘especially arduous’’ in the last 12 months. "We're very excited to get this project started," the contractor said, adding anticipation for play next spring.
Board members asked if there were questions for the representatives; no substantive policy changes or funding votes occurred during the update. The board expressed appreciation for the work and the contractors' progress updates.
The district did not provide a detailed construction schedule or budget figures during the public portion of the meeting; those details were not specified on the transcript.
