City Council OK’s Mayor Purzycki’s proposal for an historic public/private partnership to preserve the City’s historic sports complex

Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki tonight thanked Wilmington City Council for its approval of an historic public/private partnership between the City and Salesianum School which will lead to the reconstruction of Wilmington’s Baynard Stadium athletic complex. The vote was 12 yes and one member absent. While the City will retain ownership of the stadium, it will now formally enter into a lease agreement with Salesianum School, which will commit to an estimated $15 to 20 million rehabilitation of the entire sports complex.
