Ormond Beach softball complex found eligible for ECHO scoring
Summary
Volusia County's advisory committee found the City of Ormond Beach's $2 million softball field renovation eligible for ECHO scoring after a unanimous vote; the project requests $1 million in ECHO funds matched by a $1 million cash match.
The Volusia County ECHO advisory committee voted to find the City of Ormond Beach’s sports-complex softball quad-field improvements eligible to move forward to the scoring panel.
Staff described a $1,000,000 ECHO request with a $1,000,000 cash match for a total project cost of $2,000,000 to upgrade four high-use softball fields with new clay, Bermuda sod, irrigation, shade structures, fencing and parking improvements. A committee member moved to approve eligibility and the motion carried unanimously.
"City of Ormond Beach is eligible to be scored," staff stated after the roll-call vote. Committee members raised no substantive objections during the brief eligibility discussion. The project will be scored at the grant review panel scheduled two weeks from the meeting.
