The Hilton Board of Education has approved a vote on a 19.5 million dollar capital project including new synthetic turf at LeBeau Field.
As announced on the public address system at recent home sporting events, the list of included projects also includes bleacher replacement with 25 percent greater seating capacity, new lighting and light poles, a new press box and PA system.
Other less noticeable parts of the project include roof replacements, new boilers, emergency generators and sewer connections. The plan states that there will be no impact on local property taxes.
“I am particularly excited about the planned renovation of LeBeau Field,” Athletic Director Michael Giruzzi stated in the release. “Our stadium is the site of some of the largest public gatherings in our community, making it an integral part of the district’s vision of being the heart of our community.”
