Westfield High School begins construction for all-purpose turf stadium

Construction is beginning this week for the turf fields at Westfield High School. This project is many years in the making. Athletes at Westfield High School have been wanting turf fields for a while. Many of the schools they play already have turf fields. All of their fields are currently grass. The construction will continue through the summer and during the following school year before it is set to be completed in August of 2026. The big question for athletes, where will they play in the meantime? to the project. We have other fields in the um school system that we'll be able to utilize and um we'll make do for a year or two um and once that um is done we'll be in great shape. So I think in the long run it's worth it. The funding for the project is largely from Westfield Gas and Electric Whip City Fiber.
