Summary
After engineers found the track’s subsurface unstable, boosters proposed a drainage and cement-stabilization plan that raised the cost to $230,000; the board authorized work to proceed after donors and local governments pledged funding.
Logan, speaking for the MHS athletic boosters, told the Hardy County Schools board that attempts to mill and repave the Morfield High School track failed because an unstable subsurface and a clogged drainage system made the pavement sink. He described a revised plan to install an upgraded drainage system, perform cement stabilization (milling and mixing subsurface materials with Portland cement to create a stable base), then pave the track and later apply a rubberized surface when temperatures allow.
The project’s scope expanded from an original estimate of about $75,000 for milling and repaving to a revised total of $230,000 once core-drilling, survey work and cement stabilization were included. "We went from $75,000 to…
