Committee votes to recommend county develop Equestrian & Ag Center as Burleigh County project
Summary
The Missouri Valley Complex Committee recommended the Burleigh County Commission proceed with project plan development and site location for a proposed Equestrian and Ag Center on the preliminary 40‑acre site; the recommendation will go to the county commission for action.
The Missouri Valley Complex Committee voted to recommend that the Burleigh County Commission proceed with project plan development and the proposed location of the Equestrian and Ag Center as a county project on the 40‑acre preliminary plat area.
Julie Hunan, representing the Ag and Equestrian Committee, said the request is for the Missouri Valley Complex Committee to "recommend that we continue our planning," and to forward that recommendation to the county commission so county staff can begin project plan development and address jurisdictional and infrastructure needs. The committee confirmed the request should include the location identified on the preliminary plat (40 acres).
Committee members discussed chain of command and precedence for future projects within the Missouri Valley Complex and agreed the project should proceed as a county‑led development. After a motion and a second, committee members approved the recommendation and the chair called the roll. The motion carried.
Why it matters: the committee’s recommendation asks the county to lead planning, funding and initial project steps for a major facility that committee members said would be a cornerstone to drive broader improvements across the Missouri Valley Complex.
Ending: Staff will include the committee’s recommendation and the preliminary site plan in the county commission packet for the next commission meeting so the commission can consider funding and next steps.
