Williamsport City Council approved a construction contract of $628,460 awarded to Dakronics Thursday night for the business to build a video scoreboard for use at Bowman Field.
Dakronics is a company based in Brookings, South Dakota.
The digital scoreboard will either be installed in time for this year’s Crosscutters’ baseball season in late May or in autumn, Jon Sander, city engineer, said.
Additionally, the Crosscutters are contributing $100,000 toward the construction cost of the video scoreboard, according to Gabe Sinicropi, Crosscutters vice president, marketing and public relations.
Sinicropi noted that this scoreboard is the latest in technology and can be used by the city for entertainment purposes such as a movie night if the city were to receive the proper clearance.
