The Foundation wants to thank
the Leominster DPW, Leominster
Wire Department, EMG Associates,
many in-kind contractors and
Joan Allen (Site Engineer) for
their tremendous efforts to get
this phase of the work done for
the September 1st target date.
The next construction news

contributions of our in-kind
contractors to date.
Keep thinking “Drought, Drought,
Drought” so we can get the job
finished!!!
All funds for the Doyle Field
Renovation Project to date have
come from private contributions
and State Grant dollars. The
Doyle Field Foundation is
actively seeking financial
support from the community for
the locker room and plaza
construction to complete Phase
1B of the Project. Further
fundraising for upgrading the
field surface and performance
pavilion will be addressed at a
later date. Currently Phase 1
has raised $1.8 million dollars
through in-kind donations,
community donations, private
contributions and State Grants.
Fund raising will continue until
our goal of $4.5 million dollars
is reached.
There will be another short
construction update at the end

Construction begins at Doyle
Field
By

BOZEK Leominster Recreation
Director Judith Sumner, EMG
Associates CEO T.C. Zimirowski,
Mayor Dean Mazzarella, Doyle
Field Foundation President Ralph
Caisse, and EMG Associates'
Andrew Leonard (left to right)
break ground at Doyle Field,
Thursday morning.
LEOMINSTER-- City officials and
residents celebrated a
groundbreaking ceremony at Doyle
Field on the 40-yard line
Thursday morning, as
construction crews began laying
down the foundation for new
bleachers.
Crews began demolishing the
bleachers in mid-September, and
should begin placing seats by
Nov. 3.
"The bleachers are being built
into the ground," EMG Associates
representative Andrew Leonard
said. "The first set is being
placed. ... There'll be better
views. It will be nice and
easy."
Officials continued to encourage
the community to get involved
with the project -- which will
span over 15 years and cost $15
million -- since it would be the
only way the project would move
on under a tight municipal
budget.
The next fundraising event will
take place Nov. 19 at the Four
Points Sheraton Hotel on Erdman
Way.
"The community has a real
opportunity to step up to the
plate, no pun intended," Mayor
Dean Mazzarella said before
putting on a ceremonial hard
hat.
Leominster Athletic Director
Chris Young said he visits the
site almost everyday.
"We've had decent size crowds
with minimal seating," Young
said. "We were very lucky we had
all away games during the messy
(storm weather.)"
Young said the Thanksgiving Day
game location still hasn't been
decided.
"It's a constant evaluation," he
said.
