White Pine County boards review $180K fairground improvements, stage, grandstands and sound system options
Summary
Board members reviewed a list of FY2026 capital projects including $180,000 in fairground improvements, a permanent stage (materials under review by Basin Engineering), grandstand repairs nearing completion, staked track railing work, and a proposed wireless stadium sound system estimated at $12,000–$17,000.
Board members reviewed multiple FY2026 capital-improvement projects for the White Pine County fairgrounds, including an estimated $180,000 for fairground improvements and plans for a permanent stage. Basin Engineering is gathering material information for the proposed stage, and Desi Barnson offered to collaborate with Tour and Rec on grant writing to fund the project.
Members reported the grandstand repairs are roughly three-quarters complete and noted track railing work has been staked following a survey by Basin Engineering; Lopez is scheduled to begin installation. The board discussed a wireless sound system sized for a roughly 2,000-person football-stadium configuration with an engineering and installation cost estimate between $12,000 and $17,000, and noted such a system would require professional installation and engineering.
