Gooding County accepts $5,000 Frontier Community SMILES grant for fairgrounds upgrades
Summary
The board approved a $5,000 Frontier Community SMILES grant to upgrade the county fairgrounds commercial building; funds are reimbursable upon submission of eligible expenses and require donor acknowledgment in project communications.
Gooding County approved signing a Frontier Community SMILES grant agreement dated March 10, 2026, awarding $5,000 to upgrade the county fairgrounds commercial building. Commissioner Vern Eames moved to approve signing the agreement; Commissioner Ronald Buhler seconded the motion and it carried.
The grant is reimbursement-based: funds will be disbursed upon submission of acceptable documentation showing eligible expenditures up to or exceeding the $5,000 award. One of the grant’s conditions requires the county to acknowledge Frontier Community Resource’s support in communications recognizing donors; Commissioner Eames suggested the fairgrounds manager, Don Gill, could use the reader board during the fair and rodeo to meet that requirement.
