quote:Although no presentation was made by the project's leaders on Tuesday, Jackson's City Council did vote 8-1 to pay $10,000 to secure a 30-day option on the 122 acres where the complex would be built. The land, presently owned by an investment group in Memphis, is west of Pringles Park next to Interstate 40. The $11 million youth baseball and softball complex would play host to travel-ball tournaments, which are expected to draw teams from numerous states.
''That vote was big,'' said Tom Hanson, who joined Kyle Spurgeon to organize the proposal for the sports facility. ''We didn't expect an 8-1 vote. I think that shows strong support.''
