The Fairfield Economic Development Association has announced plans to construct and open a new child care center in Fairfield. The center will be owned and operated by Jefferson County Kids, Inc., a local nonprofit corporation. The new facility is planned to be nearly 14,000 sq. ft. and will offer between 150 and 200 child care spaces. An assessment of where to locate the center is in progress. Fundraising efforts will begin in January, with construction planned to start late spring.
