More youth athletes may soon fill Allen Field. At the end of last night’s School Board Meeting, members heard a request from Joe Morris and members of the Youth Football Association.
They were asking the board to repurpose Allen Field into a multi-sport training and development facility for youth sports which would encompass county youth for kindergarten through grade 8.
Allen Filed has seen only limited use since the opening of the Sports Complex several years ago.
Morris said the proposal would bring Allen Filed back as a functioning facility while removing the expense of upkeep from the school system.
Morris stated the proposal would maintain Allen Field’s historic position as a place for youth activities.
The Board agreed to study the proposal and work out the details.
