:March. 1, 2009
NEVILLE ISLAND, Pa. - Authorities discussed Saturday transforming what is now a brown field into an 80-acre sports complex where citizens can play anything from soccer, to rugby, to cricket.
The meeting on Neville Island garnered public input about the $15 million project that would cut across Robinson Township, Coraopolis and Moon Township.
County Executive Dan Onorato said fundraising will begin soon on the giant sports complex, which may be called Montour Junction. Onorato and other county leaders shared their vision and heard from residents who live nearby.
"The majority of the people are engaged in this; they want this to happen. There are a lot of things we need to take into consideration. So, as we continue to go along and continue to have public meetings and things like that that, we're going to take their concerns into consideration," said Dennis Davin, the county's director of economic development.
The property, donated by a foundation, used to be owned by the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad, and it requires some environmental remediation, officials said.
