A Legacy of Leadership
Renamed in 2016 to honor Keith Fogarty, a founding member of FSA and former President, the Training Center reflects his vision for hands-on, field-based education. With more than 40 years of municipal public works experience, Keith identified the need for consistent statewide training and led the development of the Certified Stormwater Operator curriculum. Though he passed in May 2024, his leadership continues to shape every course we deliver.
