The board approved a nearly half-million bid from United Turf and Track for the new turf which Scarbrough high quality and heavy grade.
The newspaper said Scarbrough also talked about the need for a new scoreboard. He said the district could expect to spend around $250,000 for a new digital scoreboard, adding that he expected to generate around $600,000in additional revenue by selling ads on the scoreboard and could also consider selling naming rights for the scoreboard.
That he described as being “valued at north of $100,000.”
A motion to solicit bids for a new scoreboard was approved without dissent.
