As a citizen, I'd like to know more about why this is important right now. If there's a need for this, let's do it. If not, let's not spend $100,000 on feasibility studies. In any case, I am a little surprised that a few months ago the city was doing their level best to get rid of baseball within city limits by destroying the fields on the Jackson stretch of Lakeland. Now, it seems, we need baseball after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-58945821678593871542014-12-03T12:46:54.679-06:002014-12-03T12:46:54.679-06:00Please do elaborate 9:36!
