 In June 2008, the town placed a referendum question on the local election ballot proposing to sell the stadium and create room for a condominium complex.However, much to the relief of many of the 10,000 citizens of the town, the question was voted down by a considerable majority.Around April 2008, a local volunteer organization known as The Ball Park Group took on the task of cleaning up the property and renovating the facility to a condition suitable for hosting games and special events.
