“Field of Dreams” Project to Become Reality

The City Council approved, 6-1, a proposed $2 million loan order for the Medford High School “Field of Dreams” project during its Tuesday meeting.

The $2 million loan order will pay for the “Field of Dreams” project, a plan to create artificial turf fields and a new track behind Medford High.

Mayor Michael McGlynn spoke about building the new fields in his inaugural address in January and said he hopes to break ground in the spring.

“I will continue to work with the Medford City Council on the ‘Field of Dreams’ proposal to build artificial turf fields in Medford, to preserve athletic opportunities and provide modern and safe facilities for our student athletes,” said Mayor McGlynn in his speech.

“In my opinion this vote represents an investment in the future of Medford. The response has been overwhelmingly positive from the parents, people who are going to be paying the bill. The young student athletes from Medford High, who spoke on the issue, did all of us proud, they were informed and articulate. The investment is going to reap big dividends and make all who attend Medford High, proud Mustangs!” said Council President Robert Maiocco in an email.
