Ashland Little League is expanding its practice areas. After many years of fundraising, the league was able to profit over $100,000 to build a pole building that will be used primarily for batting and pitching practices. Money obtained from a grant, also helped with the building process.
The new 40' wide, by 80' long, by 18' high pole building sits on the north side of the 1400 Block of Race Street, near the playing fields. Tennis courts once stood were the new building is.
Turf will be installed inside the building. Shamokin Area High School donated the turf to the league, after they replaced theirs on the football field. .
Ashland Little League officials are hoping that once the building is operating the whole community could benefit from it. They are hoping to have it open by the fall.
Pioneer Pole Building, Schuylkill Haven, is in charge of the building construction.
