City To Take Over McCurdy Field Again
The Board of Aldermen Tuesday moved toward reacquiring McCurdy Field from Frederick Athletic Club to expand amateur sports. A five member commission would govern the field under Frederick Sports Inc, with $19,400 paid to the club over ten years and funds raised locally for modernization, about $20,000 needed. Immediate action follows Chamber of Commerce recommendations and awaits formal agreement.
