Board of Selectmen
Town Approves Contracts for Preliminary Design To Improve Coppo Field
|
The NewCanaanite.com Summer Internship Program is sponsored by Carriage Barn Arts Center. Town officials this week approved three contracts for the design and planning of an upgraded baseball “stadium” at Waveny. The Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to approve a $155,900 in contracts for the pre-construction design work at Coppo Field, which is located behind Lapham Community Center. Funding for the initial design is provided by the nonprofit New Canaan Athletic Foundation, although if the design is approved, additional funding will be required for construction, officials said during the selectmen’s regular meeting. The project aims to increase the number of spectator seats around the field, according to Public Works Director Tiger Mann.
