Commissioners review fairgrounds construction defects and consider more RV/water hookups to attract events

Jun 13, 2025

Roosevelt County commissioners and the wrangler's board reviewed punch-list items at the fairgrounds, including incomplete finish work and drainage issues, and discussed adding electrical and water hookups and a fee schedule to accommodate multi-day events.

The full story

Commissioners and staff reported on a site visit to the fairgrounds with the contractor and architect, identifying unfinished or improper work that the architect said the contractor must correct. Items cited included incomplete caulking and mirror framing in bathrooms, damaged stall edging in a new stall, single-coat painting where priming was needed, and a rainwater drainage issue near a major electrical box (the contractor later installed a gutter to reroute runoff).
