Baseball Association donates $58,000 for Spencer County ballfield lighting project
Summary
The Spencer County Fiscal Court received a $58,000 cashier's check from the Baseball Association to pay for lighting on Field 2; a purchase order has been issued and county staff will coordinate installation work and utility/usage planning.
At the April 15 Fiscal Court meeting Judge John Riley presented a cashier’s check from the Baseball Association for $58,000 to fund lighting on Ballfield 2.
Judge Riley said the financial arrangements were complete and a purchase order had been issued to begin work on the ballfield lighting project. He noted that Knight Electric had been directed to keep him posted about scheduling. Magistrates discussed that use of the field could be challenging during installation but expressed enthusiasm for the project following a successful opening day for the baseball season.
No formal vote was required to accept the donation; Judge Riley reported the county had the check and had issued the purchase order. The court discussed logistics such as timing and coordinating work around scheduled games.
Next steps: the county will coordinate with Knight Electric and project contractors to set an installation timeline and manage field availability during work.
