Beverly R. Cameron, City Manager 715 Princess Anne Street Fredericksburg, Virginia (540) 372-1010 Brcameron@Fredericksburgva.Gov Beverly R. Cameron City of Fredericksburg City Manager P.O. Box 7447 Fredericksburg, VA 22404-7447 Telephone: 540 372-1010 Fax: 540 372-1201 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Beverly R. Cameron, City Manager 715 Princess Anne Street Fredericksburg, Virginia (540) 372-1010 [email protected] June 13, 2013 FREDERICKSBURG CITY COUNCIL SCHEDULES JULY 9, 2013 PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED MULTI-PURPOSE MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL STADIUM IN CELEBRATE VIRGINIA SOUTH The Fredericksburg City Council will hear public comment on a proposed multi-purpose baseball stadium in Celebrate Virginia South at its regular meeting on Tuesday, July 9, 2013, 7:30 p.m. in Council Chambers, 715 Princess Anne Street. The City Council wishes to gauge public support for the project, which involves the construction of a multi-purpose Minor League Baseball stadium at an estimated public cost of $30M. The stadium is proposed to be financed through a special tax district which would tax property within Central Park and Celebrate Virginia South at an estimated rate of $0.32/$100 of assessed value. The Hagerstown Suns, the Class A South Atlantic League affiliate of the Washington Nationals, are interested in relocating to Fredericksburg. After considering public comment, the Council will decide whether or not to refer proposed Comprehensive Plan and Capital Improvement Plan amendments to the Planning Commission for public hearing and recommendation. Upon receipt of the Planning Commission’s recommendations, the City Council would hold a second public hearing before making a decision whether to amend the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Capital Improvements Plan. The amendment process would take an estimated 90 days. City Manager Beverly Cameron said, “This is the first step in the process, and the first opportunity for public comment. The critical question at this stage is whether the public supports the overall project structure as proposed, including the public investment in the stadium and the special service district. If there is public support for the project, then the Council will enter into a detailed negotiations phase, including the negotiation of stadium lease terms and the acquisition of an option to purchase a stadium site. Council would also study specific aspects of the proposed public financing for the project. At the conclusion of the detailed negotiations, the City Council would return for a second round of public hearings as a condition to final project approval. So the July 9 public hearing is an opportunity for the Council to test public support for the concept, and for the public to communicate its input at this early stage.” Press Release on Minor League Baseball Stadium June 13, 2013 Page 2 of 2 The proposed 4,750 seat stadium would be the home of a Minor League Baseball team and potentially the site of 25 to 35 non-baseball events throughout the year. The stadium would be leased to the team for year-round operation. A specific site for the stadium has not been identified. The Comprehensive Plan is the City’s strategic plan for future public and private development. Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan is mandatory for new public facilities, including public stadiums. Chapter 9 of the Comprehensive Plan currently envisions projects such as the construction of the Dixon Park Community Center on Dixon Street, and the development of Fire Station #3 in Celebrate Virginia South. Chapters 3 and 4 of the Comprehensive Plan call for the development of the Riverfront Park downtown. These projects are planned to be financed through the City’s General Fund borrowing capacity. The Capital Improvements Plan is the City’s cost and financing estimate for large-scale public facilities, equipment and infrastructure, such as streets, bridges, sidewalks, ambulance units and fire trucks, schools, water and wastewater infrastructure, and parks. The CIP provides City residents with an overview of anticipated “big ticket” capital expenditures and assists the City in planning for those expenses. The CIP provides a financial plan for implementing the new public facilities envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. Both the Comprehensive Plan and the Capital Improvements Plan are available on the City’s website, www.fredericksburgva.gov. The Fredericksburg Economic Development Authority commissioned Brailsford & Dunlavey to perform a Multi-Use Stadium Market Analysis (available on the EDA’s website http://www.fredericksburgva.com/uploadedFiles/Main_City_Content/Doing_Business/Files/Mult i-Use Stadium Market Analysis Report - May 2013.pdf) which concluded that the Fredericksburg market “has an exceptionally strong demographic profile for minor league baseball given its ideal household wealth, spending, and size characteristics.” The Market Analysis projected stabilized attendance levels of 4,100 to 4,600 for minor league baseball games at the stadium, and between 25 and 35 non-game revenue-generating events per year.

The studies was performed following completion of the design for an aggressive design/build project schedule. The studies were performed based on the state of the art technology recognizing the urban setting that exists. Current noise/sound study only covers impact of Baseball Activities Most other activities outside of baseball will not utilize the sound system of the Venue. Events such as fireworks and concerts require a separate permit. Option is already being pursued to perform a separate study regarding the Impact of Concerts and Fireworks – challenges include unknowns regarding concert setups that vary based on the show/act, and the design of the Fireworks show, which is not complete Projection of 300 events being held at the Venue is alarming when noise/sound There will be 70 home games (35 fireworks displays), study only accounts for 70 ballgames approximately 3 to 4 concerts the first year. Other events will be smaller in-door events or community oriented or activities that will have significantly less impact than baseball, concerts or fireworks.

Upon approval, it will be released and community meetings will be scheduled.

  • This Week in Baseball Debuts: the May Edition Mike Soroka, SP Born
    This Week In Baseball Debuts: The May Edition Welcome to the the second issue of the This Week In Baseball Debuts newsletter. Inspired by an episode of Effectively Wild, the purpose of this newsletter is to highlight the MLB debuts that have occurred in the past week. Our goal is to not only inform you about the top prospects you already know but give you some insight into some of the lesser know players who may only be up for a single cup of coffee. This is the second in our two mega newsletters highlighting all debuts that occurred in April and May. After this week it will just be a weekly update that will be sent to your inbox every Sunday. In addition to this newsletter, a version of these profiles will also appear at Banished To The Pen. Mike Soroka, SP Born: August 4th, 1997 (20) Team: Atlanta Braves Debut: May 1, 2018 Throws: Right Bats: Right Soroka made a splash in his major league debut, throwing six solid innings, striking out five, and walking no one. Listed by FanGraphs as the #34 prospect on its Top 100, the 20-year-old righty gets a 55 future grade, with low variance. Kiley McDaniel lists the Canada native and former first-round draft pick as the Braves’ 4th best prospect, with an above-average fastball and slider right now, and the potential to develop an above- average change and above-average command. Over his four-year minor league career, Soroka has shown a propensity to keep his walks down, and keep runs from scoring.
