CHARLOTTE — County commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday night to approve a proposal to spend $750,000 for upgrades at the Matthews Sportsplex.
The funds will be used to replace four synthetic turf fields that have reached the end of their lifespan since opening in 2017. The project also includes replacing safety netting, fencing, and soccer goals at the sports complex.
