After receiving unanimous approval from the town’s Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission on Tuesday evening, it appears a proposed $2.28 million synthetic turf field project the Region 18 Board of Education is considering building is moving forward. The 143,000-square-foot, all-weather, multipurpose field, if eventually approved by the Board of Education, will be located behind the middle and high schools and will overlay an already existing practice field, accommodating soccer, lacrosse, baseball and softball games and practices, as well as physical education classes. The timeline outlined that the final design would be complete by fall 2020 and construction could begin as early as summer 2021. Construction would take four months, Fuselier has said.
