The former General Motors Fisher Body facility, now known as Fisher Park,

industrial space for one or multiple companies and improve the aesthetics
of the Route 4 corridor. Completion and occupancy of the building is

Fairfield Career Fest Connects Students and Companies
Before the end of the 2021-22
school year, multiple community
partners came together to expose
Fairfield High School students to
career opportunities in the Fairfield
area. Known as “Fairfield Career
Fest,” the inaugural one-day event
featured nearly 50 area companies
with interactive exhibits in the Fair-
field High School Arena.
Approximately 1,500 juniors and
seniors visited with companies
throughout the school day. Com-
panies highlighted both near-term
job opportunities that students
could seek for the summer or
immediately upon graduation, as well as future career opportunities Over 1,500 students visited with

“Fairfield Career Fest was a win-win for the companies and the students,”
said Kert Radel, President/CEO of the Fairfield Chamber. “Companies are
constantly looking for quality talent and they were able to connect with
Fairfield students. Students were highly-engaged and have a better
understanding of the local career options that are available to them.”
High School Campus Sidewalks Coming Soon
Next school year, students at
the Fairfield Freshmen and High
Schools will have new sidewalks.
Over the summer, the City will
be building a sidewalk between
the two schools along Holden

Harbin Park will close at dusk to vehicular traffic. Harbin Park is under construction but that
doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the fireworks! Harbin Park’s soccer lot will be open to foot traffic

to help broaden the viewing area by utilizing bigger shells and a larger
shooting zone. So whether you walk to the park, gather with your friends
