HomeMy WebLinkAboutNCS000453_Indian Trail_September 2019 Newsletter_202008057eFi"m:Flis:mir: Work Begins on Chestnut Parkway Artificial Turf Field Exciting changes are coming to the Chestnut Square Sports Facility! Work has begun on the new Chestnut Parkway Artificial Turf Field. Thanks to a $25o,000 NFL Grassroots Grant and the support of the Carolina Panthers Organization, this long -planned project is now quickly becoming a reality. Indian Trail was the only municipality in the metropolitan area to receive this prestigious grant, which helps to partially fund the project. The field will replace the current multi -use field. The artificial turf, which will display the Panthers' logo, will allow the field to be used in all seasons for football, soccer and lacrosse. It will also allow the Town to host more tournaments and events, bringing visitors to Indian Trail from across the region. Residents are invited to join the Town for a ribbon cutting ceremony for the field on Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. Carolina Panthers' owner David Tepper, as well as several of the Panthers' players and cheerleaders will be on hand to celebrate the grand opening of the field. The North Carolina Special Olympics will be the first major event held on the field the weekend of Nov. z and 3. The artificial turf field is another step in the Downtown revitalization, which includes plans for residential (multi -family) and retail developments, as well as a hotel. The Mecklenburg Swim Association is also in the process of constructing a state-of-the-art Olympic swimming pool facility on Chestnut Parkway, which is scheduled to open this fall. "This is an exciting time for growth in Indian Trail ," said Patrick Sadek, town manager. "The vision we had for Downtown is taking shape, thanks in large part to the NFL and Carolina Panthers for their contribution to the artificial turf project. We look forward to the continued development of both Uptown and Downtown, as we work to make Indian Trail a top destination in the greater Charlotte metropolitan area." Support the Veterans Memorial Garden The Town of Indian Trail Veterans Memorial Garden officially opened on Memorial Day, 2019. The Memorial includes seating areas, educational materials, a POW - MIA monument and flags representing every branch of the Armed Forces. The project was designed by Indian Trail staff with input from the community and was constructed by both private contractors and the Indian Trail Public Works Department. Make a Donation! While construction may be complete, community members are able to continue supporting the project and honor a loved one by purchasing an engraving of the name, date of service and branch of service of a veteran. Engravings can be dedicated to current military members or those who have completed their service. Engraving donations start at $too, with all funds raised through the purchase supporting the Memorial. To purchase an engraving, or if you would like to make a donation, please call Town Hall at 704.821.5401.
