Officials of Bong County have begun the renovation of the county's only sports stadium, the David Koryan Sports Stadium. Bong County Superintendent Rennie Jackson speaking at the official ground breaking ceremony recently put the renovation at over US$193, 000.

Superintendent Jackson said money being used for the renovation is from the county development funds allotted by the Central Government. Bong County is the current champion of the national counties meet.

Superintendent Jackson thanked the county soccer team for the victory in the National County Meet.

He indicated that prior to the soccer fiesta, county officials and members of the county's legislative caucus put in place the appropriate mechanism to ensure that the county won the tournament. He said he was honored to have the county win the trophy.

Superintendent Jackson said the completion of the stadium will be a priority as it will be used to raise funds for the county development. He stated that eighty per cent of the project has already been completed; pointing out that the entire project will be completed in three months. See pictorial of the renovation inside.
