Work will move forward at a recreational complex in Lehighton, thanks to a donor who is remaining anonymous for the time being.

Borough Manager Dane DeWire reported to borough council on Monday that the donors are ready to move forward with a brand-new fence and brand-new pavilion.

In February, DeWire announced that the borough had received $50,000 to renovate the Sixth and Coal soccer fields.

He said at that time the donor had requested to have a new fence installed, which is estimated to cost $26,000.

DeWire said at that time that the remaining $24,000 from the donation could be applied to things like paving the alley behind the fields, putting in some sidewalks or performing bleacher work.

He said the field will be renamed in memory of the donor’s parents.

After an executive session, council on a 6-0 vote granted its consent for the fence and pavilion at the expense of the donor.

Councilman John Kreitz was absent.
