If you haven’t driven past Tommy Roberts Memorial Stadium on Kennedy Drive lately, check out the hive of activity.
Key West High School’s new $20 million football and baseball complex is taking shape, with dozens of workers from Ajax Building Co. on site daily.
Members of the Monroe County School Board members on Oct. 10 heard an update on the project from Pat Lefere, the school district’s executive director of operations and planning.
See page 10 for the full school board report.
According to Lefere’s stadium presentation, work started this past May. As of this week, parts of the under-bleacher buildings have been erected and the concrete slabs for football locker rooms have been poured. The actual bleachers, which were deemed unsafe for use years ago and finally removed at the start of construction, will be replaced later this month. An irrigation system and sod are expected in November and December, with substantial completion of the football side scheduled for January 2024.
