Farmington town budget, high school building project, road improvements up for vote today

The town is asking residents to vote on spending $16 million to save the original 1928 Farmington High School building. The cost of that project would be offset by $7 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the federal government, making the total price tag for the town $9 million. If approved, the town would convert the building into a new town hall, with offices for multiple municipal departments, meeting space and a 3,600 square-foot gym for community use. Town officials have said the time to decide is now because doing the renovations at the same time the old high school is torn down would result in construction savings. The third question on the referendum ballot is whether the town should spend $4 million to improve and reconstruct roads around town.
