Committee reviews three‑diamond plan and funding needs for Enon ballfields
Summary
The committee reviewed a rendering proposing three baseball diamonds with parking, discussed phased construction, and cited cost estimates for earthwork and fields of roughly $100,000–$175,000; Little League participation was tied to the availability of a concession stand.
Committee members reviewed the new rendering showing three baseball diamonds, updated parking locations and phasing options. The chair said dirt work estimates and field construction put the near‑term cost in the low hundreds of thousands and gave a working figure of roughly $175,000 for the initial diamond work, noting that phasing would likely be necessary if the committee cannot fund construction this year.
"I think if I'm not mistaken it was 175,000 okay so that was what we thought," the chair said while discussing ballfield costs. Members discussed parking placement tradeoffs (closer parking versus preserving field space) and how added parking would reduce available field area.
The committee also noted Little League's expectation of a functional concession stand before relocating play to the site; members said prioritizing initial diamond construction could help attract funding for later amenities. No motion to allocate funds was made; the committee asked staff to refine cost estimates and to explore funding sources.
