The Background
ESU has developed a four-prong approach to renovating its
athletics facilities.
|
Phase 1: |
The installation of a new track. |
|
Phase 2: |
The installation of new lights. |
|
|
The installation of artificial turf on the Eiler-Martin and Whitenight athletic fields. |
|
Phase 4: |
Renovation of the President's Press Box. |
The only two projects left to fund and complete are the Turf Project and the President's Press Box renovation.
An Opportunity for ESU
East Stroudsburg University has a unique opportunity to install synthetic ("artificial") turf on the Eiler-Martin and Whitenight athletic fields. Pennsylvania Senator Robert Mellow has secured funding from the state in the form of a challenge grant of $300,000 for the project. $150,000 will come from a private source. However, the total project cost is $850,000. Therefore, our goal is to raise the final $400,000 to complete this project by June 30, 2008.
