“It really is just an incredible thing that Rigby has the history of (television pioneer) Philo T. Farnsworth here,” Rigby Mayor Jason Richardson said. “I think it’s a great thing for our community, and that’s what I’m looking to preserve.”

“I’m not willing to give up a museum then go find property,” Richardson said. “We’re not looking at spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars.”
