Commissioner Diamond Celebrates “Lights On” at Blankner
Baseball Field
|
WHAT: |
District 1
Commissioner Phil Diamond will host the “Lights
On” ceremony to commemorate turning on the new
lights at Blankner School. School groups, the
Delaney Park Little League and other civic
groups will now be able to safely play during
the darker evening hours.
“It is
important to do more with less during difficult
economic times. It is expensive for the City to
purchase land and build more baseball fields on
its own. However, by partnering with the Orange
County School Board to light an existing
baseball field, the City is able to provide more
field time for our youth. This is critically
important because our youth need more supervised
activities to stay safe and busy” said
Commissioner Diamond.
Blankner School,
Orange County Public Schools, the City’s
Families, Parks and Recreation Department,
Delaney Park Little League, and the construction
company that installed the lights, M. Gay
Constructors, Inc. will join Commissioner
Diamond at this event.
