City leaders gave final approval for the replacement of artificial turf at J. Fred Johnson Stadium.
In a 6-1 vote Tuesday evening, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a $853,807 bid from Field Turf USA. Alderman Jennifer Adler was the sole vote against the measure.
J. Fred Johnson Stadium is home turf for Dobyns-Bennett High School's football and baseball teams.
