Two Superstition Shadows Park baseball fields, and two softball and two soccer fields at Prospector Park in Apache Junction are to be retrofitted with energy-efficient, shielded LED lighting at a cost of nearly $1.8 million, some funded through grants.
The Apache Junction City Council at a meeting July 16 voted unanimously to approve a $1,784,427.75 contract with Veregy for the Musco-brand sports-field lighting, which includes a 5% contingency. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.
A total of $471,649.50, including a 5% contingency, will be funded by the city of Apache Junction and used for fields 3 and 4 at Prospector Park, 3015 N. Idaho Road. Fields 1 and 2 were done last year, Parks and Recreation Director Liz Langenbach said during the council’s July 2 meeting.
