GRAYSVILLE, Tenn. – For 66-year-old Wesley Denson, recalling his former softball days at Graysville’s ballpark sparked a renewed interest in the sport he loved.
He’s excited about future events at the park and the city updating the lighting there.
“I’d like to see them do something at the park,” said Denson, a resident since 1957 and former player with the local Graysville Indians team.
Mayor Ted Doss said the city received a $93,000 grant from the Southeast Tennessee Development District to buy a 400-watt breaker box at the ballpark and for new globe fixtures to replace the 50-year-old lighting inside City Hall, the former Graysville Public School building.
He said the grant could help the county save up to 25 percent on electrical costs at those locations.
