Legion Field gets new lighting system
Paul Henley reports Legion Field now uses an underground wired lighting system at Farr Park for three leagues. The $12000 upgrade reduces fixtures to half and doubles illumination while cutting electricity use, funded mainly by the Community Development Program with federal Bureau of Outdoor Recreation money potentially aiding future wiring underground. The city says savings will pay for the project in about two years.
