The Gloucester City Board of Education is considering installing stadium lights on the athletic field at the new Middle
School. They feel by doing it now before the field is completed it will save money. They also admit they may never complete this project and the preliminary work may be for naught. When the school was first proposed in 2002-03
the plans called for just an athletic field. According to a former school board member before he left the Board those plans were changed to include a turf field at an estimated cost of $600,000.
At Tuesday’s meeting, the Board by an 8-1 vote authorized School Board Secretary Margaret O’Donnell to seek proposals to start with the installation of the conduit for the stadium lights. The estimated cost is $125,000. It is not known how much the poles and stadium lights would cost. Nor do we know the cost for electricity to operate the lights.
