Council explores alternate uses for county facility, questions proposed roping arena
Summary
A council member said county officials are open to discussing alternate uses for a county facility with about 100 acres and suggested repurposing the existing horse track rather than building a $2 million indoor roping arena.
A council member told the meeting that county officials indicated openness to working with the town on a county facility that includes roughly 100 acres. The council member said, "we don't need a $2,000,000 indoor roping arena out there," and suggested exploring different uses and potentially utilizing the existing horse race track instead.
The participant said the county's preference was not to require the town to remove the track completely, and encouraged staff and other council members to bring forward ideas for alternative community uses of the site. No formal decision was made at the meeting; the topic was raised for future follow-up and brainstorming with county staff.
