Through the quality-of-life tax initiative, Langrehr Field bathrooms were set to be a project from the Capital Improvement Plan in 2025 with a total cost of $200,000. With the decision of tabling the Brit Spaugh Park addition, the city is proposing to move this project up to this year. The city received a Sourcewell quote from preferred vendor CXT.
