The Lakewood Community Development Corporation is a group whose mission is to plan, promote, coordinate and/or execute programs to improve the quality of life in the community by promoting the rehabilitation and development of residential, commercial and recreational facilities, with primary emphasis on the historic downtown area of the village of Lakewood.

The LCDC, Village of Lakewood, and Southwestern Little League recently worked in conjunction to install a brand-new scoreboard at the LaGrega Little League field. The LCDC and the following sponsors purchased the new scoreboard: Ricky & Heather Turner of Blackstone Advanced Technologies & Ulrich Fabrications and Rick & Terry Turner of Matric Group. Southwestern Little League purchased the new steel support system from Jamestown Macadam Inc. The electrical services were provided by Chad DeVliegar of GOB Electric.

The new scoreboard will be utilized by the approximately 200 athletes affiliated with the Southwestern Little League.

"SWLL is grateful for the incredible support from the LCDC and sponsors to add a much-needed improvement to the baseball facilities," representatives said.

Southwestern Little League is now working to purchase an additional scoreboard for the turf field at the LaGrega Complex. Individuals or businesses looking to serve as a sponsor on the additional scoreboard can contact Southwestern Little League via email at southwesternlittleleague@gmail.com.
