Camden Hills Regional High School committee seeks community opinion on proposed synthetic turf field
The Five Town CSD School Board's Ad Hoc Turf Field/Facilities Committee has put together a brief survey to solicit input from the community living in the Five Town CSD school district about the prospect of building a synthetic turf athletic field on the Camden Hills Regional High School property.
In late 2021 the Five Town CSD School Board formed the ad hoc committee to explore constructing a turf field at CHRHS to replace the Don Palmer grass field.
The Ad Hoc Committee’s work over the past year focused on five areas as outlined in the Committee’s Charter as follows:
- Explore cost of construction/mechanisms to finance the possible project
- Explore community support/objections for the project
- Explore safety issues/health risks of playing on turf
- Explore possible outside users/fee generation
- Explore benefits of foul weather use/reduction in ground care
CHRHS is one of the few remaining conference schools without a turf field facility.
