The Franklin County High School Agriculture Department is requesting that the Board approve the attached application for funding. It is their desire that these funds be used to assist in the construction of a multi-purpose shop building. The location is anticipated to be approximately where the previous tennis courts were located. The application is for $85,000 of Agriculture Development Funds to be used for a 2,125 sq. ft. building (pole barn type). In future years, the District will help develop the building using Maintenance staff and funds much in the way the Athletic Complex was finished at WHHS.
