Campbell Educational and Community Foundation is paying for the entire project.

He said core drilling is finished, and he projected that the project will be completed in six to seven months, depending on weather.

Campbell visited the Steel Valley area and West Field last week.

Ducar said weather prevented Campbell from taking a thorough tour of West Field.

The park is named after Knight, the former Munhall mayor who served the borough for more than 30 years before his death in 1987.

West Field was the home of the Homestead Grays of the Negro League in the late 1930s and early ’40s.

Project plans were revealed at a Munhall council workshop meeting in February.

Borough officials, planning commission members and Steel Valley School District officials observed the presentation.

Renovations include establishing a baseball field consistent with high school and collegiate standards, a Little League ball field, and a soccer/football field.

As for parking, 186 spaces were outlined around the park and 73 more off Orchard Street.

Ducar said the only project adjustments from the original plans are the addition of a retaining wall on the site, and moving some bathrooms near the concession stands.
