Turf in Seymour II
The NH Register ran an article today on Seymour’s proposed turf. Their Board of Selectmen just opened the three bids they received. “The proposals came from Field Turf USA, based in Montreal, which bid $765,641; Sportexe Proposals, of Ontario, which bid $797,000; and Sports Construction Group, based in Ohio, which bid $875,000.” (by Jean Falbo-Sosnovich)
I guess the $850k number being used in Cheshire may be on target. Although, with our luck, the construction company will need to dig several inches to install the turf & drainage system. And in doing so, they’ll hit ledge… which, in turn, will undoubtedly set back the project years and cost untold millions in addition to the initial $850k.
But if you’re interested in doing your own research (costs & benefits) on turf, the article mentions some other towns (besides Southbury and Wolcott) that have turf: Shelton, Trumbull, West Haven and East Haven.

Great deal, we should do it now. Tim can you add it to the capital budget and let the people decide?
A good site for turf drainage is: www.hydraway.net. We used the product on our field
