Commissioners approve out‑of‑state travel for fair representative Bart Platt
Summary
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved out‑of‑state travel for Bart Platt to attend an industry convention in Billings intended to market the county's event complex and recruit larger events, after Platt outlined a three‑year plan to grow event revenue.
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to authorize out‑of‑state travel for Bart Platt to attend a regional fair and events convention in Billings. Platt told the board the trip is aimed at marketing the Jefferson County event complex and landing larger events that would generate revenue for the facility.
Platt described the long‑range plan the fair board set for the complex and said the convention is part of a strategy to reach new industry contacts. "It looks like we'll have our 1st music festival this fall of 26, that we're just putting the final touches on," Platt said, adding the convention attendance is intended to expand the facility's event pipeline. Commissioners moved to authorize the travel, it was seconded and approved by voice vote.
