The Lakeland Preparatory School football field could be getting a major upgrade sooner than district officials expected.
Following a discussion on Thursday, Aug. 15, the suburb’s Board of Commissioners approved up to $270,000 related to the sponsorship and purchase of a new video scoreboard for the field. The process is in the early stages, and leaders have not decided on the specifics of the scoreboard.
Lakeland Mayor Josh Roman said he has seen other video scoreboards in nearby communities used as a way to promote the local municipalities.
