Our office has advocated for this project since last spring, when we pulled together stakeholders to develop a plan to secure funding.  More than $90,000 was raised from stakeholder groups, such as the recreation councils and sports booster club.  The Maryland General Assembly included $150,000 in its recently-passed budget.

The artificial turf field is the sixth major recreation project to be funded in northeastern Baltimore County since 2010.
