More progress is being made in the renovations of the new Austintown Fitch stadium project.

Phase one, which consisted of the demolition of the stadium's old bleachers has completed. Now that that's done, the board has met to approve the next step in the project.

During a meeting Friday morning, the Austintown Board of Education voted to approve the bid for the new bleachers and restrooms.

Austintown Local Schools Operations and Facilities Director, Matthew Bostian previously told 21 News the new bleachers should be up by July just in time for football season.

As for the restrooms, Bostian told us those should be done by the end of the 2023 football season.
