From the meeting
On August 24, 2026 the Fair Board reported completed upgrades and outlined pending needs at the fairgrounds. The open items include rabbit and poultry exhibition space, relocating dog and horse activities, siding replacement and painting on the Horticulture Barn, more air movement in the show arena, and possible replacement of the south bleachers with aluminum bleachers, safety rails, and ADA accommodations. The board also formed an advisory committee for short- and long-term planning, which points to future funded projects rather than a closed procurement.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
