Community leaders in Starkville shovel dirt during the official groundbreaking for Cornerstone Park off Highway 25 in Starkville on Monday. Construction began this year on the project, estimated at between $18 million and $22 million, to build tournament ready baseball and softball fields at the complex. Voters in 2019 approved an increase in the tourism tax to fund the project. "I believe (Cornerstone is) going to be a catalyst for increasing recreational opportunities for our community, especially our children," Mayor Lynn Spruill said during the groundbreaking ceremony, adding the park will contribute to economic development and a higher quality of life in Starkville.
