We, the citizens of New Providence, oppose any night lighting of the High School athletic fields because it would impose on neighbors, increase traffic and noise, and establish an ugly sports complex in the middle of our town. Further, it would cause parks, which were originally closed to prevent teenage drinking, to be reopened. We also request that any approvals for turf fields be haulted until disinterested experts address concerns about carcinogens and sanitation.

We are currently preparing a formal letter to the school board to demand an independent audit of soil toxicity levels at the proposed site. Our team has scheduled a meeting with local zoning experts to evaluate the potential noise impact of the planned lighting fixtures.

The scale of this response has secured a formal meeting with the planning board representatives. Legal counsel is now reviewing our petition data to frame the official request for an independent environmental study.

Totally agree. No one wants a giant sports complex right in their backyard. Keep the lights off and the natural grass please.

Keep our neighborhood dark and quiet! We moved here for the small town feel, not to have high intensity stadium lights shining into our bedrooms all night.
