Officials said the multi-million-dollar Old Mountain Field renovation began despite weather-related delays; construction will require temporary power arrangements and some short-term disruptions to field use, with completion expected by early fall.

Town staff updated the council on the Old Mountain Field renovation project, a roughly $4.4 million capital undertaking. Managers said heavy snow and storm-related disruptions to utility schedules caused delays in the work but that construction is underway and the contractor will provide a generator to maintain field lighting when utility relocations interrupt service.

Town staff acknowledged that some users will face temporary displacement or limited access near construction zones but said the project must proceed to meet grant timelines and to use allocated funds. Officials said the project remains on track for an early-fall completion and stressed that once finished the renovated facility will be a long-term asset.
