It's been two years in the works and later this spring, the City of Farmer City is hoping to be moved into its new maintenance shed.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, City Manager Sue McLaughlin told Regional Radio the former maintenance shed was destroyed in a fire and they are almost ready to move into the new shed later in April.

According to McLaughlin, not a whole lot will be new about this new shed but she points out, it should be much safer. 

One aspect of the City losing all its equipment in that fire was the fact so many communities around them stepped up to offer up their equipment to Farmer City. McLaughlin says as they restock what was lost, they are very grateful for so many surrounding communities and their generosity.

McLaughlin points city residents to its Facebook page to follow the latest updates on the building's progress and for when they will be able to check it out upon its completion.
