New concessions building approved for Cuccia-Byrnes baseball fields used by Carrollton Boosters
|
The city of New Orleans approved plans Monday morning for a new concessions building to replace the aging structure at the Cuccia-Byrnes playground, where the Carrollton Boosters operate baseball fields they recently described as vital to their programming. The new two-story building on Forshey Street — just off South Carrollton Avenue — will include a concessions area, restrooms and upstairs storage space, according to plans filed with the city. The project will include, according to the plans:
Removal of the existing structure,
Construction of the new building,
Demolition of interior fencing “to open the green space up as a large multi-use playing field to be configured for different types of sporting events,” and
Replacement of some of the high mast lighting. The city had presented the plan to neighbors at a Jan. 14 meeting at the Hollygrove Multipurpose Center, according to records included in the project application.
