| Is this a water project as described in Chapter 2002-291, Laws of Florida? | No | ||||||||
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: | |||||||||
| Current fairground location is in urban area of Bay County with no room for growth - parking or structural. Lack of facilities have forced fair association to downsize annual fair attractions and agricultural and livestock showcases, thus reducing revenues. By relocating to a rural area the board can provide increased offerings, thus attracking greater crowds and more and better attractions. | |||||||||
