Ground broken for $15M West Fargo school, church

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Officials have broken ground for a new elementary school and church in West Fargo.

Fargo Catholic Diocese Bishop John Folda took part in Thursday’s ceremony for the $15 million Trinity Elementary campus, which will include the Holy Cross Catholic Church parish hall, administrative offices and a chapel with seating for 70 people.

Officials say the project is needed to handle a growing population. Administrators estimate about 300 students will attend the school when it opens in the fall of 2015.
