HAMILTON — Hamilton’s track and field facility is on its way to being constructed after the Hamilton City Council awarded the construction bid to Avery Landscape & Associates to tackle Phase 1 of the project.
“We’re hoping to start June the 19th. That’s the tentative starting date of the work,” said Mayor Bob Page.
“The project was just over $6 million. We’ve got an additional $553,000 for the turf that the city’s going to pay out of packet (outside) of the contract.”
