From the meeting
At the September 15, 2026 packet, WRHSAC also reviewed Part 2 of the Franklin County Fairgrounds proposal: a multi-agency functional exercise called Grandstand Response 2027. The exercise would validate the updated plans through a simulated active assailant incident in the grandstands, with planning meetings, ExPlan materials, a Controller/Evaluator Handbook, a Master Scenario Events List, a hotwash, and an AAR/IP. The Part 2 request was $17,800, with the exercise targeted for late April or early May 2027 and project closeout in June 2027.
Decision state: proposed for WRHSAC funding consideration.
