The Barnstable Town Council, Thursday night, approved $4.6 million to fund the Barnstable High School Sports Field Upgrade Project.
That project, which is the first phase of a three phase master plan, includes construction and installation of a full-size, multi-use synthetic turf field, rest rooms, concession stand, picnic area, dugouts with storage, lighting, improved parking, and sidewalks.
The upgrades will bring playing areas up to Division One standards, provide safer playing conditions, and attract pay-for-play sports organizations.
