County allocates $4M for new Exposition Hall at Expo Center

A significant development emerged from the Lebanon County Commissioner Meeting on March 20, 2025, as officials announced plans for a new Exposition Hall at the Expo Center, backed by a substantial $4 million investment. This funding aims to enhance the county's capacity to host larger events, responding to increasing demand from customers seeking more space.

The proposed Exposition Hall will be strategically located adjacent to the existing North Hall, utilizing the area behind it to create a functional courtyard for loading and unloading. This design aims to streamline operations and improve accessibility for event organizers and attendees alike.

Commissioners emphasized the importance of thorough preparation for the project, including compliance with prevailing wage laws and proper documentation. The county's accounting firm will oversee the necessary paperwork to ensure all financial aspects are in order before moving forward.

This expansion is expected to significantly boost the county's event hosting capabilities, allowing Lebanon County to attract larger gatherings and further establish itself as a key player in the regional events market. As plans progress, officials are optimistic about the positive impact this development will have on the local economy and community engagement.
