The Wood County Fair’s new Multi-Purpose Exposition Center will soon be coming to life. After spending the last few months working on details and responding to suggestions from the community, a date has been set for construction to begin. Site demolition of the 5 buildings along Brim Road is scheduled to begin on Aug. 24, with the new building completion to be July 1, 2018.
Steve Speck, president of the Wood County Fair Foundation, the 501c3 running the campaign, commented, “We have spent countless hours the last few months to reconcile ideas from the community with cost effective construction and are pleased with the final outcome.”
“We are excited about the project and are grateful to the community for all the input of ideas which helped us pull together a great final plan. This building will be a valuable asset to the fair and greater Wood County area for many years to come,” said Bill Kale, Wood County Fair Board president.
