The new athletic complex under construction across from New Richmond High School is on schedule for a late Octomber completion according to Superintendent of Schools Tom Durbin.

The Charles H. Hamilton Co. of Maineville, Ohio began work on the project in early August.

When completed the complex will house new baseball and softball fields for the high school and two football/soccer practice fields. The fields will be available for community use when not in use by school teams.

Durbin said seeding on the softball, baseball and two practice fields is scheduled for late September with hopes they will be ready for the 2010 spring sports seasons.

The current baseball and softball fields will be maintained as a backup for the 2010 seasons.
