Toms River Gives $386K For Toms River East Little League Upgrades

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Toms River has designated more than $386,000 in funds from the American Rescue Plan for the Toms River East Little League for improvements to its facilities.

The league is using the funds to install artificial turf on the infield and new sod on the outfield of their field at Windsor Avenue, along with new lights for night games, officials said.

The improvements also will help the league compete to be a regional tournament location, officials said.

"Toms River East Little League is a vital member of the Toms River community, contributing mightily to development of our children," Mayor Maurice Hill said. "They consistently make our township proud and represent us well throughout the country."

"I thank TRELL President Tommy Noone, Township Liaison Bob Gould, Todd Frazier, as well as the entire TRELL board for their leadership and assistance in making this project a reality," he said.
