The
Benton County Event Center & Fairgrounds has completed an update of the facilities master plan. The Benton County Fairgrounds has been an important gathering place
and location for public events in the County for more than 100 years.
The buildings, utilities and grounds at the fairgrounds have suffered
from years of deferred maintenance. The updated master plan will help
the County achieve the Fairgrounds' mission to operate a community
events center that serves residents and visitors.
The master plan includes a facilities plan that identifies new
construction and needed improvements to existing buildings, and a
comprehensive business plan that explores management options and
provides an operational and maintenance budget, plus potential funding
mechanisms.
Markin Consulting led the economic analysis and public engagement
portions of the master plan update and will present their findings
during the community meeting at the Fairgrounds on March 5th.
