In 2015, Council approved an initial $42,000 under the Sustainability Grant - Major Capital for a number of renovations and improved aesthetics of the facility. These upgrades are scheduled to be completed in April 2016.
Clymont Community League is requesting funding for additional upgrades and site amenities including repaving of the parking area, snow removal and landscape equipment, a new cover for the hardwood floor, mulching of fallen trees, installation of a new section of fence and renovations to the ball diamonds.
