They will beginning phase 2 soon, which will cost $3.9 million.

Connors talks about what will be happening in phase 2.

"Some of the structures on top which would include construction of three baseball diamonds, a masonry block, a concession building and washrooms, additional roadwork, pathways, electrical services to the ball fields including, light and irrigation."

Connors says they have set a timeframe of when they want to launch the baseball fields.

"Our goal is next spring. We would like to get the grass in and have it knit into the soil before we have anyone play on it. We are hoping this time next year we will be having ball out there."
