 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,” said Commissioner Diamond. “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.”
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.
