The next steps for bringing a field house to the area includes seeking funding for a feasibility study.  The Cumberland Economic Development Commission is working with the Appalachian Regional Commission for a grant to cover those costs.  Mayor Ray Morriss says once funding is solidified with ARC, the study will show whether a field house is worth the cost…

“Is this something that is feasible, is this something that will work in our local? If it does, where would it be located?  Who would be the participants in it?  Would it be the City of Cumberland, Allegany County, Allegany College of Maryland?  Where would the funding come from?”
