Statewide Interest:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Suwannee County Fair (which is housed at the Agri. Complex) is one of the oldest tri-county fairs that is still in existence.  Currently the complex is landlocked which prevents any future expansion. Purchase of this property would offer opportunties for expansion.

Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purchase of thirty acres that is adjacent to Agricultural complex, at a below market price.  Due to recent development in the area such as the hospital, housing and schools, the property that was once available to the Agricultural Complex's events for participant and vistor parking is no longer available.  The possibility for providing future improvements and expansion is also very tentative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Expansion of Agricultural Center and activities.  With out this land there will be not possible way to expand the present facilities.  Expansion of agriculture.
