City is sued in Little League Park dispute — Boynton Beach may have made peace last year with the East Boynton Beach Little League over operations at the city’s Little League Park, but another party in the long-running saga over facility improvements there isn’t ready to bury the hatchet.
Primetime Sports Group, which is run by Phil Terrano and which once had a contract to construct a training facility at the park, filed suit Jan. 31 against the city. Primetime claims the city breached its contract in numerous ways, including by negotiating with one of Primetime’s subtenants, Mike Barwis, to take over the project despite Primetime’s contract.
The city ended its contract with Primetime in February 2024, saying a financial consultant determined Primetime “has not demonstrated the ability to procure the funds needed for the construction of this facility.”
The suit contends Primetime had the ability, but that the city kept changing the size and scope of the project. This prevented the company “from finalizing the plans and specifications in order to obtain approvals and permits and secure financing,” the suit said.
