Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Funds will be used to replace aged bleachers, an inadequate electrical system and provide potable water for the facility.  The grounds are in disrepair and pose a significant safety hazard to all who visit.  The requested amount is included in the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services supplemental budget request.
