Richfield Youth Sports Park

Organizers Seek IDA Parcel

Cindy Klemm of Richfield Youth Sports introduces Len Pickens, RYS president, at this morning’s Otsego Now meeting, where he asked the county IDA to turn over a former development site off Route 28 to be developed as permanent athletic fields for the community’s young people. Longterm, the goal would be to build a recreation center/gymnasium. Cooperstown has the Clark Sports Center, Pickens said, and the county’s third-largest community needs to fill similar needs. The contingent, which included Richfield Springs architect Jim Jordan, behind Pickens, and attorney Doug Zamelis, received a positive reception from the board, which said the plan would be referred to the its projects committee.  The site in question has been proposed for a commerce park, but was never developed, due to a lack of municipal water, and the discovery of Native American artifacts.  (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
