Workshop today on field turf options

SANDPOINT — The city of Sandpoint is hosting a community workshop today to discuss replacement options for turf at War Memorial Field.

City staff and representatives from SPVV Landscape Architects will provide an update on the funding received to-date for the project through the local option tax and construction timeline. Field options, including natural, hybrid and artificial turf will be discussed as well.

Public input is requested on the field replacement and this will be the first in a series of workshops before a final decision is made by City Council. Field replacement is not scheduled to begin for another year and is dependent upon the receipt of projected revenues through the local option tax as approved by voters in 2015.

The workshop is scheduled from 5:30-7 p.m. today in City Council Chambers at Sandpoint City Hall, 1123 Lake St.
