City pressured to find a new home for youth baseball league

Manassas leaders have promised to help find its youth baseball league a new home if it sells the 18-acre E.G. Smith Baseball Complex to the city's largest employer, Micron Technologies.

Coaches, players, and volunteers at the Greater Manassas Baseball League (GMBL) demanded, unsuccessfully, for that promise to be put in writing.

Monday night, the City Council voted unanimously to discuss Micron's option to buy the city-owned land for $14.2 million at its next Land-Use Committee meeting on September 23. It could develop a plan that considers the comments of more than 30 people who spoke against the deal.
