Eight new scoreboards are to be installed at the athletic fields at Warren Holder Park in Locust Grove. The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its May 4 regular meeting to approve the $21,184 purchase, accepting a bid from Benton Electric. County staff noted that the existing scoreboards are “very old and outdated,” to the point that parts cannot be acquired to repair them in most instances.

A $3,690 expenditure for installation was also approved, and it was not necessary to solicit bids for that since the amount is under $5,000. Funding for the entire project is coming from the county’s capital improvement plan.
