The baseball complex at Tate was upgraded and reconstructed over the years using booster club money and with the help of some alumni that were fortunate to make it to the Major Leagues. County money wasn’t used. Northview baseball got their outfield lights from the county. Tate had to pay for their own. I do agree that the county needs to set aside more money for ALL of the high school athletic fields, because most of the upgraded “city” school fields were paid for by private booster club money.

Can some one tell me why the sports areas at the lower area i Escambia County is way better then what Northview has. Cannot play base ball on our field with just a small amount of rain, yet look at the field and stands at Tate and field.

Where are the girls’ facilities? Is this a co-ed locker room & restroom?

This good addition for Northview HS would be impossible without the Local Option Sales Tax.
Why? Because some years ago the State’s calculations for spending in the school districts (counties) was reduced to the point that no funds are available for Capital Improvement and Construction.
The Local Option Sales Tax also provides funds for good investments such as fire fighting trucks and equipment and facilities.
Weight Training Facility or Emergency Responders or new school buildings are paid for through local efforts and are overseen by an outstanding committee of local citizens.
These projects can be viewed with much civic pride because WE helped them happen.

Since this facility is being funded by tax money, I hope it will be Title 9 compliant. Otherwise, it’s being illegally built.
