Little League complex would include 10 fields
Little League board members met with New Albany Mayor Doug England, the Floyd County Commissioners and the New Albany-Floyd County Parks Board looking for support for their paln to build a new Little League complex in New Albany on 62 acres on a hillside behind Home Depot and Target, which is along State Street. The land actually stretches from Tuckers to Target on property owned by Pat and Pam Kelly. The board has been working for more than two years trying to find property to house a new facility which includes 10 baseball and softball fields and a nearby aquatic center. Not only is the current complex too small and inefficient, there is also a sense of urgency to find a new home in the next two years since Mount Tabor Road is scheduled to be widened with gutters and sidewalks added
