Millarville is one step closer to a brand new sportsplex, with a new baseball diamond in the very near future.

The MD of Foothills approved an expenditure that will allow creation of a site plan for the future complex.

Reeve Larry Spilak explains that a full site plan was necessary in order to move forward with the ball diamond.

He says "you can't start with one project without a site plan outlining where everything is going to be, so that's the part we approved last week."

Reeve Spilak adds the ball diamond will be funded by the Millarville Association, who have funds in place for the project.

The ball diamond could be constructed as early as next year, but there is no time frame concerning the rest of the sportsplex at this point.
