Princeton Board Receives Ballfield Project Update

The Princeton School District announced to board members that the Federal Land, Water, and Conservation Fund grant will provide $300,000 towards the relocation of the ball fields. The announcement came at a meeting Monday night. The board also received an update that the concession stand construction is in its final stages. The district is targeting an opening date of September 25th to host their first softball game. The Russ Derry Sports Complex will include three fields and will be located at the intersection of Route FF and U.S. Highway 136, north of the Dollar General store. The project has received an additional $44,000 in donations and pledges over the summer. Further contributions will be used to enhance the complex with trees, shrubs, concession stand equipment, playground facilities, and picnic tables.

Those interested in making additional contributions can contact the school or can mail their donation to “The Community Foundation of Northwest Missouri”, 1006 West St. Maartens Drive, Suite B, St Joseph, 64506.

Princeton School Board members also approved the Homeless Liaison Duty assignment for the school’s Elementary Principal.
