Support Needed for Multi-Purpose Turf Field in New Fairfield

A community project to construct a small (approximately 200 feet by 100 feet) multi-purpose turf field located on an existing grass field behind Rebel Turf field has been proposed to the town of New Fairfield.  This project is completely self-funded due to fundraising efforts led by a junior at New Fairfield High School, Noah Alviti, and the generous contributions of residents of the community.  Our First Selectman Susan Chapman opposes this project based on her opinion that New Fairfield has sufficient field space.  The New Fairfield Board of Selectman will vote on April 14 to approve or reject this project.  We need your vote to demonstrate the support of the extended New Fairfield community for this additional turf field.
