(Desert Shores Soccer Park moving forward)....A contract of just over $160,000 has been awarded to Mariposa Landscape Inc.

They will build phase 1 of the Soccer Park. The Air Pollution Control District has approved $295,235 for the project. The project is being paid for through the Clean Air Fund. While the park will benefit the youth in the Desert Shores area, the main purpose is dust mitigation. The project is currently located on an open dirt lot. The preparation includes leveling the dirt and planting real grass for the field. The field will cover a 33,600 square foot area, that is expected to suppress some of the blowing dust.
