HENDERSON, KY (WFIE) -

Work continues at Henderson's Atkinson Park, the old lights at Joe Gabe baseball field are now down, completing phase one of the project.

The city and county are each contributing about $25,000 dollars to renovate the field for youth football and baseball programs.

Henderson Municipal Power and Light Officials say man-power costs, taking down lights, and putting in new ones, total around $48,000.

"I think our board said we would put up to $30,000 and then we'll look at it at that time to see where they're at," said HMP&L Line Supervisor Sam Lamar.

Henderson Municipal Power and Light says the project should be done in time for youth baseball tournaments in July.
