Farmington Building A New Town Hall, The Latest

FARMINGTON, CT — Plans to convert a major part of old Farmington High School into the new Farmington Town Hall continue to be on schedule and budget.

Work on the project started last February, with the new town hall tentatively slated to open early next year, perhaps in January.

According to the Farmington 1928 Building Committee's most recent report, filed after its July 22 meeting, the following updates were announced:

• The 1928 Building Committee reviewed and approved the invoice package and proposed change orders.

• The 1928 Building Committee is pleased to report that the project is moving according to schedule.

• The 1928 Building Committee voted to cancel the Aug. 12, 2025, meeting.

• The next 1928 Building Committee meeting will be held on Aug. 26, 2025, at 4:30 P.M.

For years, a new town hall has been discussed in conjunction with the new high school.

In May 2023, voters said "yes" to a $16 million project to take the old "1928" section of the former FHS and renovate it into a brand new Farmington Town Hall.

Last March, the Farmington Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a special permit application by the town to renovate the "1928 Building" — located at 10 Monteith Drive.

The "1928 Building" is so-named because of the year it was built, and it is the only portion of the existing Farmington High School that still stands after a new high school opened last year.

A new $145 million Farmington High School facility near the old school opened in August 2024, paving the way for the old FHS to be a new Farmington Town Hall.
