The West Fork Community School Board moved forward with plans to build a new athletic building following a contentious vote during its regular meeting Dec. 15.

     For several months now, the board has worked on developing a new building to provide needed space for the school's wrestling program and weight room. To that end, the board has made plans to build a $3.5 million wellness center in the old high school lot at the Sheffield campus.

     Paid for using the district's on-hand cash and borrowing against future PPEL funds, the proposed building would be paid for over four years without raising taxes on the school district.
