Kimball Mayor David JacksonKIMBALL, Tenn. – The first set of baseball field lights at Kimball Park has been dark since it was installed several months ago.
Kimball Mayor David Jackson said an electrical problem was found and can be corrected for $4,000, but a more thorough fix would cost the town $10,000 to $12,000.
“The electrical box is big enough to handle the lights, but the interior guts of that box are not right to be wired,” he said.
The Kimball Board of Mayor and Aldermen recently voted unanimously to have Sowder Electric Co. Inc. in Jasper, Tenn., correct the problem for $4,000 based on Jackson’s recommendation.
“I recommended we do the cheaper fix, because if we get a park grant we’re applying for, the more expensive fix can be included in that [for the remaining three fields],” Jackson said.
