Ogden considering new bonds to pay for baseball stadium lighting, other energy conservation projects

Ogden City is considering a new bond measure that would, among other things, fund a major lighting upgrade at Lindquist Field and pay for energy conservation projects around the city. In 1997, revenue bonds totaling $900,000 were issued to finance the acquisition and construction of the baseball stadium. In 2006, the bond was refunded and wrapped with additional bonds worth $2.87 million that went to the construction of the city’s Public Works building. In November 2017, the city issued another bond related to the stadium, totaling $3 million, which has been used to expand and renovate the facility.
