    Proposal to spend millions on turf fields is unnecessary

    Plans for new soccer/lacrosse fields raise health, financial concerns

    The Holmdel Township Committee is pushing an expensive, ill-conceived project for two new artificial-turf, regulation-size soccer/lacrosse fields to be built in addition to the 12 grass fields now at Cross Farm. The proposed fields will be used almost exclusively by private travel soccer and lacrosse organizations, which serve many out-of-town players at the most elite…
