Florence Memorial Stadium

Didn't you tell me one time there was another high school being discussed for Florence?

Yes. A few years ago I was told that the long-term plan called for an "East Florence" high school, but most development and growth has been on the west side of town. What I'm hearing now is that they are planning to build a new, larger West Florence high school about two miles west of the current location on land the school district already owns. The current WFHS is sitting on some valuable commercial real estate and I believe the district plans to sell it to fund additional new construction and improvements. I could be wrong, they may keep the property and do something else with it.

WF may not get get bigger from an attendance point of view, currently the entire Freshman class at WF is in 18 mobile classrooms behind the main building.

Keep in mind the high schools in Florence were built for 10th -12th grade - before 9th grade was added (except maybe for the new Wilson).

I'm hearing renewed talk of a new stadium being built near I-95 and 76 intersection, along with soccer complex and outlet mall. Anyone else heard anything like this?

I haven't heard anything about that lately. Initially there was some talk of a large, multi-use stadium as part of the soccer complex but the last I heard those plans had been scaled way back.

Last year I started hearing rumors about a new football stadium off Cashua adjacent to the tennis complex.

I'll ask around.
