ADS expansion moves forward

Advanced Drainage Systems has announced a significant expansion in the city of Fairmont. The $15 million project will include 14 acres of land and add 30,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space– not to mention 20 jobs over the next five years. We’d like to say thank you to ADS for making this move and investing in our community.

Big thank you to Preuss

Fairmont’s Economic Development Coordinator, Linsey Preuss, has announced that she’s moving on from her job with the city as she’s accepted another position. We’d like to thank Linsey for her last seven years of service and for what she’s done for the community here. We wish you nothing but the best of luck in your next position.

Students celebrate FFA week

This past week, students around the country celebrated national FFA week. Fairmont High School’s FFA chapter has seen significant growth over the past few years and even added an additional FFA advisor this school year. FFA educates students on a variety of career paths in the ag field and we feel it’s a very valuable program.
