Submitted by the Department of Public Works Explanation: This article will fund development of a Master Plan for the existing athletic fields at the Mashpee Middle/High School (MMHS),including the stadium field and track. The number and layout of the fields has not changed since the school's construction in 1996 as a high school. Since that time, the number of athletic teams using the fields in both spring and fall has increased, in part because of the relocation of the middle school to the building and the addition of other sports such as lacrosse. The increased use has made it difficult to maintain the natural grass fields in proper/safe playing conditions.
