Alexandria is close to an agreement with Georgetown University to make the city the official home field of the school’s baseball and softball teams.
Under the proposal, Georgetown would design and build new baseball and softball facilities at the Four Mile Run complex on Commonwealth Avenue. In exchange, the university would have use of the fields under a multi-year lease, and both teams would play their home games at Four Mile Run.
Councilman Frank Fannon said he initiated the talks with Georgetown officials shortly after his election to the City Council last year. The council will hold a public meeting to discuss the proposal on at Mt. Vernon Elementary School on Monday at 7 p.m.
