STONINGTON—Town officials agreed to take on the task of improving the ballfield if Town Meeting agrees to put $15,000 into a reserve fund for the project. With $15,000 already in the fund, that would give the town $30,000 to start transforming the rock-strewn field into a multifunctional recreational space—with parking.
Last year, Susan Robinson, Julie Morringello and Stroud Watson took it upon themselves to come up with a plan for the old ballfield on School Street. Calling themselves an ad hoc committee, they met with residents, neighbors, contractors, local institutions and Maine’s departments of Environmental Protection and Transportation.
“Everybody was really excited about this idea,” Morringello told selectmen at their March 2 meeting. “We have this field we could use for events. It becomes a hub for the community.”
