On Friday I was privileged to represent West Valley City at the half-time groundbreaking for the new Granger High School. The game happened to be Granger's homecoming game, so the stands and sidlines were full of past and present students. With me on the field with golden shovels were members of the school and school district and individuals representing the team that will do the construction work. The new school is scheduled to open in three years. In the meantime the old school will stay operational and when when construction is completed on the new building, the old one will be demolished and turned into additional parking and sports fields.
This will be a nice addition to our City, but we will need to replace Granger Park somewhere in the community. The park and school have been cornerstones of the community and we need to make sure that the traditions and institutions are carried on through the new facilities.
