Williamsport City Council approved a construction contract of $628,460 awarded to Dakronics Thursday night for the business to build a video scoreboard for use at Bowman Field.
Dakronics is a company based in Brookings, South Dakota.
The digital scoreboard will either be installed in time for this year’s Crosscutters’ baseball season in late May or in autumn, Jon Sander, city engineer, said.
Additionally, the Crosscutters are contributing $100,000 toward the construction cost of the video scoreboard, according to Gabe Sinicropi, Crosscutters vice president, marketing and public relations.
Sinicropi noted that this scoreboard is the latest in technology and can be used by the city for entertainment purposes such as a movie night if the city were to receive the proper clearance.

A coalition of Democratic legislators in Harrisburg are calling on the commonwealth to prioritize fixing crumbling school infrastructure with a substantial portion of the federal funds in the latest proposed COVID-19 stimulus package.
President Joe Biden’s planned $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package is still taking shape, but the most recent figures suggest the package will contain about $350 billion earmarked for state and local governments.
On Friday, state Sen. Vincent Hughes (D-Phila.), state Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler (D-Phila.), and several other Democratic lawmakers held a virtual press conference to demand Pennsylvania route some of that money into an emergency grant program that would pay for schools to remediate asbestos and lead, make electric and plumbing repairs, and do other needed maintenance work.
