Big Plans Unveiled For Quispamsis Elementary School

A big fund raising campaign will be launched next month to raise money for a major playground improvement at Quispamsis Elementary School.

Mark Hatfield of the Community Play Place Committee tells CHSJ News the total cost when it's all said and done will be somewhere between 300 and 400 thousand dollars. 

The plans call for larger and better fields for baseball and soccer along with new basketball courts.
 
There will also be a walking trail and new playground equipment, the cost of which he says is through the roof. 

The committee has raised more than 20 thousand dollars thus far and is asking the town for 5 thousand dollars. That request has been referred to the town's finance committee.

Phase one of the project will cost 123 thousand dollars.
