Summary

Staff said design work for an equestrian center was completed in a prior phase, but funding has not been secured and the fairgrounds will now pursue resources to move the project forward.

Matt Butana said the fairgrounds completed design‑phase work last year on what could become an equestrian center but emphasized that the project lacks committed funding: "Last year, we did some investigation on what it would take, to do an equestrian center. So we did some design phases, and at this point, we don't have money secured for these projects." He said the team will now take the design information to seek funding resources to advance the plan.

Butana framed the work as a next step in a longer planning process: the design information will be used to pursue grants or other funding sources, and no construction timeline or budget was specified during the presentation.
