Tow nship m ay purchase 70-acre site o ff M ichigan A ve .fo r $4.7 m illio n

BY SCOTT SPIELMAN Why build six softball fields when you can buy 12? The Canton Board of Trustees examined that question in a study session last night, when the estimate for six new softball fields came in at more than $1.4 million. The six fields had been proposed for Independence Park, one of three new parks Canton is developing. When bids for the fields came in higher than expected, Canton officials looked for alternatives, according to Canton Supervisor Tom Yack. Fortunately, an alternative did exist, and right around the corner: Canton Softball Center. Located on Michigan Avenue between Canton Center and Beck roads, the 70-acre site was put up for sale earlier this year, but as commercial property, not a recreational facility. “We were facing the possibility of los­ ing an additional 12 softball fields,” Yack said. Canton had lost two fields from Griffin Park to the new post office, and intended on replacing them in Independence Park. After examining the facility from top to bottom, inside and out, it looked like a good deal, according to Yack. Canton would pay about $4.9 million forthe facili­ ty, which if sold for development, could have netted about $7 million. “It makes sense in both the long term and the short term,” Yack said. “The fields are in excellent condition, and there’s enough capacity that we can move our junior baseball off the fields behind the high school. Those fields are in deplorable shape. They are accidents ready to hap- pen. Owning the center would provide many benefits to the township, Yack said. In addition to being in better condition than some of its currents fields, all of the fields The fields at Canton Softball Center were empty yesterday morning, but soon they could be crawling with teams from Canton’s at Canton Softball Center are lighted. The Recreation Department. If the $4.7 million deal goes through, Canton’s diminishing ball field inventory could be saved.
