February 29 -- Anyone driving by Farmington High School would have no trouble noticing the new gymnasium now going up in the space that used to be a parking lot next to the Black Knight TV offices. Slated for completion about the end of this year, the new structure will boast stadium seating with a jogging path around the top of the seating area. The new structure will address a need that was talked about when the high school was first constructed in the late 1950s. The present high school gym was too small then -- and it is too small now. Notice the new turf being installed on the football field in the bottom two photos. The old turf, put in place eleven years ago, had become frayed and needed to be replaced.
