Board aims to jump-start athletic field project

Hoping to jump-start fundraising for an $8 million overhaul of Port Washington High School’s outdoor athletic facilities, a Port Washington-Saukville School Board committee last week recommended breaking the project into multiple phases.

The board is scheduled to consider the recommendation from the Building and Grounds Committee next month and perhaps decide whether to invest $725,000 in proceeds from the sale of district land earlier this year in the project, which includes artificial turf football and baseball fields.
