Rock County officials are proposing millions of dollars in upgrades to the Rock County 4-H Fairgrounds in an attempt to modernize the site and make it more efficient.
Among the recommendations are a new 12,000-square-foot Craig Center, food pavilions, additional parking and a noncombustible grandstand. The total cost for all combined upgrades is $14.3 million.
About 25 residents turned out Tuesday night for a presentation on the proposals at the current Craig Center. The fairground proposals are detailed in the county’s facilities master plan, which was unveiled in September and recommends a host of facility upgrades to multiple Rock County buildings.
The Janesville Plan Commission must host a public hearing and issue conditional-use permits before any changes can happen at the fairgrounds.
