Williamstown â Mount Greylock will not seek bids on a synthetic turf field, at least not for the next two or three years.
But, the School Committee will seek proposals on a refurbished softball field and hard-surface walking paths to the athletic fields, both required by the federal government under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title IX, with work to be completed by 2022.
The 6-1 vote came last week, after the committee was informed by consultant Dan Colli, from the architectural firm Perkins Eastman, that a full turf field with lighting would cost about $2.8 million.
The proposed project would be funded through a gift of $5 million from Williams College for capital projects. About $3.6 million remains in the account. The committee wants to keep at least $1 million in that account for unexpected needs.
