The Mobile County Commission took steps during a conference meeting to create the Tanner Williams Community Park Ball Field and to authorize associated design and construction awards.
The clerk read an amendment that adds a new 2025 capital-improvement project for the Tanner Williams Community Park Ball Field with an estimated budget of $188,170.77 allocated from District 3 unnamed projects. The commission moved and seconded the amendment during the conference setting.
