Now we read stories in the local press that the Fitch H.S. Baseball Field project, under the supervision of the Groton Board of Education, is actually over budget by $150,000 and Vendors are still owed $140,000…

What appears to have been a “no brainer” project with very adequate capitalization in the amount of $500,000 from a private investor, has somehow become far more complicated and messed up than anyone could imagine….with cost overruns to boot…and, yes, I said COST OVERRUNS. What’s the matter, folks? Half a million dollars wasn’t enough money to upgrade a local high school BASEBALL FIELD?

It makes me wonder what might have happened if the BOE had been given $133 million for Phase II……

Incredible!
