Money ready for ballpark

Full work force expected to be back by week's end, some earlier, Prim says

(By Laura Graff, Winston-Salem Journal) - Investors, banks and developers signed off on the final legal documents for the downtown ballpark yesterday evening, closing the deal at the end of business on the deadline date set by the Winston-Salem City Council.

Stadium developer Billy Prim and City Manager Lee Garrity both said funds were in place to be transferred to an escrow account this morning.

Prim said crews would likely be back in full force by the end of the week, but said: "I think you'll see some activity on the site tomorrow."
