Proud to Support The Farmington Mercury
Farmington Storage is proud to support local journalism through The Farmington Mercury, a community news outlet focused on the meetings, decisions, and everyday stories that shape life in Farmington.
Local reporting takes time. It requires showing up, reading the documents, asking the follow-up questions, and publishing the details so residents don't have to guess what happened behind the dais. We believe that work matters, and we're glad to help keep it going.
Why we sponsor local journalism
A town works better when information is easy to find and trustworthy. Local journalism:
- •helps residents follow boards, commissions, budgets, and policy decisions
- •creates a shared record of what was said and what was voted on
- •strengthens accountability and civic participation
- •highlights community stories that don't fit into regional headlines
Supporting The Farmington Mercury is one small way we can invest in the community we serve.
Editorial independence (the important part)
Our support is financial, not editorial.
Farmington Storage does not review, edit, approve, or influence The Farmington Mercury's coverage. Sponsorship helps fund reporting, but the newsroom makes its own decisions about what to cover and how to cover it.
That separation is good for readers, and it's good for the community.
