Earlier this month the Plymouth Park Board approved a second addendum to the agreement between the Plymouth Park department and the Plymouth Community School Corporation.
The addendum is an additional financial term to the agreement. In addition to the annual payments set forth in the initial agreement, the school corporation will pay a one-time payment in the amount of $25,000 to the park on or before September 1st in recognition of the significant improvements to be made at the baseball park.
The improvements at Nixon field will include a total reconstruction of the infield and outfield. The current sod will be killed and peeled off along with the top soil. New top soil will be brought in and leveled before the area is seeded. The sprinkler system will be updated and the pitcher’s mound and home plate will be rebuilt. Plans also anticipate renovate work for the bull-pens.
Estimated cost of the reconstruction is $50,000 with the school paying half and the other half being raised through donations.
Work will be completed by a contractor and is anticipated to be finished this fall.
