Fairgrounds improvements underway
GREENSBURG – Both the Community Building and the Optimist Pavilion at the Decatur County Fairgrounds were razed this week as part of an effort that aims to modernize and improve the site that plays host to such popular attractions as the annual county fair and Power of the Past gathering. Following clean-up, the next step in the project involves Schutte Excavating pouring the footers and building a foundation for a new Headquarters Building where the Optimist Pavilion stood. After that, through a BOT (build-operate-transfer) arrangement, GM Development will manage construction while SC Construction completes the building. Funded mostly through READI 2.0 dollars, the new Headquarters Building is part of a complete renovation of the fairgrounds that also includes upgrading the Farm and Home building bathrooms and updating the electrical system throughout the entire site. The new structure will feature several amenities including awnings for vendors, restrooms and office space. According to many of the current buildings on the property were constructed in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
