Wayne County Fair seeks infrastructure funding as board weighs project-based support

Pamela Ferranti, Sarah Hamilton and Jennifer Burger presented a follow-up to last month’s discussion on infrastructure investments at the Wayne County Fairgrounds.

The committee heard that the county "typically provides $5,500 annually to the Wayne County Fair, which goes toward supporting the 4‑H program," and Chair Dave Fantuzzo asked whether the county should continue that fixed annual sum or reallocate support to specific capital projects. No decision was made; Fantuzzo suggested the committee consider shifting to project-based support in future budget discussions.

Members did not take a formal vote on a funding change. The presentation materials referred committee members to the full proposal in the meeting packet for detailed cost estimates and timelines.
