Malta Town Board Weighs Expansion Of Athletic Fields

MALTA—At an agenda meeting on Monday, January 27 the Malta Town Board heard a presentation by the LA Group regarding the expansion of the recreational facilities at the fields in the Luther Forest Technology Campus along Rocket Drive. Currently the facility has two softball fields; the board heard proposals that would expand these to four. An option available would be to make these two new fields a larger expanded size to accommodate adult tournaments. Options regarding the construction of a new concessions/bathroom building were also examined, as were different paving and additional walkway options. While much of the money for this construction (options ranged downward from just under $1 million) is already in the current town parks and recreation budget, the board decided to examine this further and did not schedule a vote on this matter.
