School district and city officials updated the city council Tuesday night on the progress of the $3 million athletic facility renovation project at Attleboro High School. Construction is set to begin June 11 after this year's graduation, and it is expected to be completed in time for the Bombardiers' first home football game in September.
While the city is paying for most of the project, up to $600,000 of it will be funded through private donations and possibly grants. This money will go toward the construction of a concession stand and bathroom. The website www.ahsstadiumrenovation.com has been set up to collect donations. Also, school principal Bill Runey told the council he has applied for grants from the National Football League and Lowe's.
A golf tournament will take place June 8 at MGA Links at Mamantapett in Norton as a fundraiser for the project. Go to www.miraclemom.org to sign up for the tournament.
