LEWISTON – Voters have given their OK to a more expensive, slightly larger Farwell Elementary School project.

Fewer than 30 Lewiston residents turned out for a public meeting on the issue. In a straw vote, they unanimously supported the project.

The latest proposal calls for the old school to be torn down and a two-story, 53,125-square-foot building built in its place. The new school would have four extra-large classrooms, 12 regular-sized classrooms, separate music and art rooms and spaces for tutoring, conferences and special education. Voters could also elect to add a 3,395-square-foot middle school-sized gym.

The school would be set on 4.8 acres and would accommodate 425 students.
