Readfield residents approve use of grants to build athletic field

KENNEBEC JOURNAL • June 15, 2023

Voters have authorized the town to move forward with the development of an athletic field at the Readfield Fairgrounds. Residents voted down a plan last year to raise $500,000 to build a softball field, basketball court, trail system and other recreational features at the town-owned site. This year, however, voters were more amenable to a revised proposal that finances the project without using any taxpayer dollars.
