Jewell County fair organizers seek ARPA funds for storm shelter and new bathroom
Summary
Fair board members and county officials discussed the Jewell County Fair 2026 budget and said they plan to use ARPA funding for a storm shelter and a new bathroom; commissioners asked for final confirmation before releasing the funds.
Fair board members told the Jewell County Commissioners on June 30 that the 2026 fair budget includes plans to use federal ARPA funds to pay for a storm shelter and a new bathroom at the fairgrounds. "They plan to use the ARPA funding for a storm shelter and new bathroom and will let us know when they have a final decision SO they can receive the funding," the minutes record.
Commissioners and fair representatives did not vote on a final allocation during the meeting; the fair group said it will notify the county when it has finalized plans and a scope so the county can disburse ARPA funds. The discussion was part of routine office-head updates and budget planning during the meeting that began at 8:30 a.m.
