CITY ISSUES STATEMENT ON McBRIDE STADIUM SALE

(Richmond, IN)--The city of Richmond on Monday released a statement on the sale of McBride Stadium to Richmond Community Schools.  That sale includes not only the stadium, but also two surrounding softball fields and what was once referred to as the Babe Ruth field just across Clear Creek.  Richmond Mayor Dave Snow said Monday that he’s thrilled at the partnership between the city and that RCS is making a half-million dollar investment that will preserve the properties.  The city will hold the right of first refusal if RCS looks to sell the property at some point in the future.  The city's entire statement can be viewed on its Facebook page.
