NASHUA — The Nashua Board of Aldermen unanimously passed a proposal worth $1.5 million on Monday night for the purposing of installing new field turf at Stellos Stadium and making other improvements to the facility.

The move pretty much ensures, barring unforeseen weather issues, that high school spring sports will be played at Stellos after it was shut down earlier this month for safety reasons concerning the worn turf.

According to Alderman Rick Dowd, a contract will be signed on Thursday with a turf replacement company to perform the installation. Work could begin as early as next week, Dowd said, and be completed by at or around Dec. 1, before winter fully sets in.
