Impact analysis
No new buildings, but nearly 60,000 square feet of new parking and turf fields on 23.69 acres in the Floyds Fork watershed.
Field hockey and lacrosse athletes get a new training venue, and the former horse-barn site gets reused instead of decaying.
Nearby rural-residential neighbors could see traffic and evening field lighting, though previous opponents did not appear.
