Corbacio said he is optimistic the Town will approve field lights for St. Thomas Aquinas. "We're hopeful," he said. "We believe this will be a tremendous benefit not just for the school, but more- so for the community to have additional recreational facilities available that are accessible, especially in the south. All the new infrastructure is going in the new development areas, but in the established areas, to have new infrastructure is a bonus." "It (the field lights) is part of a whole package for the school, so I think it adds value to the school and the programs and the way we and the community can use the facility," said Daly.
