Decatur County approves $100,000 EDIT addition for ball-diamond renovation and $25,000 for fairgrounds fundraising
Summary
The Decatur County Council approved two budget amendments: $100,000 from EDIT for back four ball diamonds and $25,000 added to the READY ARPA line for fundraising materials, following a presentation estimating strong tournament-driven tourism and local economic gains.
Decatur County Council members voted to approve two separate amendments to county funding for the Greensburg fairgrounds on May 20, 2025: a $100,000 addition from the county's EDIT (Economic Development Income Tax) funds for the ball-diamond renovation and a $25,000 increase to the READY ARPA funds to pay for fundraising materials and promotional items.
The amendments were presented to the council by a county staff member identified in the meeting as Dan, who described the $25,000 as an addition to the READY ARPA "ready" portion for promotional and fundraising materials. Dan said, "We've already contracted with Daniel Fayette to do a promotional video, and this way we can also fund the handouts, display boards, other things like that so that we can do the fundraising part of the ready grant." He told the council the READY line previously held $31,000 and the $25,000 addition raises that portion to $56,000.
