Eastwood Field has been the home to the Mahoning Valley Scrappers for 25 seasons and some significant improvements will be made to the stadium.
State Rep. Nick Santucci (R- Howland) secured the capital investment funds for Eastwood Field and other community projects.
According to Santucci the $500,000 will be used to replace the playing surface, enclose the batting cages, and upgrade the lights around Eastwood Field.
The state rep said, "These dollars will fund much-needed improvements to assets that our community relies on."
Other projects include $250,000 to renovate the grandstands at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds and $83,000 to renovate the Cooper Perry Building as part of the Vienna Historical Society.
