The Board of Mayor and Burgesses on Dec. 4 approved an agreement with Field Turf USA for a new artificial turf field and track for $1.1 million. The deal includes maintenance, which may have a slight additional cost, and a 10-year warranty. The funds will come from a capital reserve account. Mayor N. Warren “Pete” Hess said all of the high school coaches have been involved with the design, which will be modeled after Killingly High School’s facility in Dayville. That field has two garnet endzones. The project will include track upgrades that have been requested by the track team. The borough’s standing building committee voted in November to move forward with the project before the borough board gave the final approval. Part of the package that the borough is negotiating is a 10-year maintenance agreement at a discounted rate to guarantee the field will be properly maintained by the company and professionals, Hess said.
