OVERHAULING ROADWAYS, A9
By ERICA TECHO
rowth and change are two things the 280 corridor has become familiar with over the last several years. From preliminary steps toward a bicycle and pedestrian plan for Shelby County to new athletic facilities, that growth and change are expected to continue in 2017. 280 Living has checked in on plans for several projects set to kick off or wrap up in the new year. Read on to find out plans for a much-discussed intersection in Chelsea, the opening of a new sports complex and more.
ADDITIONAL BALL FIELDS Chelsea is about to have access to three new baseball and softball fields. The Chelsea Sports Complex off Shelby County 11 near the high school includes three fields, six batting cages, a concession stand, a walking trail and other amenities. When the fields were planned, distance to the fence and the configuration of bases were set up to allow a large age range on the fields, said Chelsea City Councilman David Ingram.
