Justification
The East Greenbush Miracle League is a charitable organization which provides children with mental and/or physical challenges an opportunity to play baseball, softball, football, soccer and other sports as a team member in an organized league. They have worked in close cooperation with the Town of East Greenbush to construct the Jaime M. Adams Field, the first of its kind in upstate New York. Because of the specialized nature of this field, the Town of East Greenbush would like to offer a non-exclusive long term lease to the League so that children with special needs in the Capital Region can continue to enjoy recreational activities.
