The City of Leesburg is reviewing a proposed budget increase for the Susan Street Sports Complex. This project involves additional costs for excavation, rock, bleachers, scoreboards, and field goal posts. The original construction budget is being increased by $650,000 to cover these overruns, bringing the total construction budget to $11,213,259.42. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. The work involves significant site preparation, including excavation and the addition of rock filtration for stormwater management. This project could create opportunities for contractors involved in site clearing, grading, concrete work, and potentially specialized trades for sports facility construction. Early engagement may be beneficial as the project moves through its review process.
