Looking to upgrade its athletic facilities, the Mount Pleasant Central School District turned to the community for a $9.7M referendum. During the pre-referendum process, LAN’s internal marketing team assisted the District with the design of referendum display boards to showcase the field upgrades to the public. The bond referendum vote took place on March 30, 2022, and was approved on a 3 to 1 basis.
The scope of work for the project includes the complete renovation of the existing Mount Pleasant Middle and High School Athletic Complex to increase field playability for both the district and the community. The project includes the installation of an artificial turf field and surrounding track, LED lights for night games, a press box at the back of the existing bleachers, and a concrete pad with utilities to provide the necessary power for food trucks to operate during events.
The project includes replacing the main competition grass field with artificial turf that is infilled with ceramic-coated sand, alleviating maintenance issues and increasing playability. This will allow the District to get more usage out of its field by avoiding the postponement of sporting events and having to play at a different field due to poor field conditions.
Five other fields at the high school and middle school campuses will be upgraded to improve the playability of the grass fields. New drainage systems, sodding, irrigation systems, dugouts, bullpens, and bleachers will also be added at multiple locations. The project was broken into four phases to accommodate sports schedules and is planned to be completed by the summer of 2024.
