As we move forward getting ready to kick off the spring soccer season, the soccer complex continues to be a topic of conversation.  Here are the latest updates on where everything stands.

Currently the concession stand and the two satellite restrooms are under construction, we will be having a meeting with the county to get completion dates for these 3 buildings.  The fencing plan is being submitted to the county for approval.  Once the fencing plan is approved, which should be within the next week, fencing will begin to be installed shortly thereafter.  We are very excited about the fencing, it will improve play at the complex tremendously.  The complex lighting is out for budget pricing and should be in by the end of next week.  Once that is received, the lighting plan will be submitted to the county for approval as well and installation of the poles and wiring will start once the plan is approved. In regards to field access, we are meeting with the county to see what can be done to have easier access to each of the fields.
