Local
Fairgrounds a Recipient of $875,000 for Capital Budget Project
COLUMBUS—State Senator Bill Beagle (R-Tipp City) toured the Preble
County Fairgrounds today, a location which was recently awarded
$875,000 in Capital Budget funding. The Capital Budget provided much
needed funding to community projects statewide. Senator Beagle
included the Preble County Fairgrounds proposal in his request for
funding to the Miami Valley.
“These funds became available through wise economic policies and
investment strategies, and I am excited to see them used for community
improvements like the Preble County Fairgrounds,” said Beagle. “Our
local fairground hosts many great events, including the upcoming Preble
County Fair. These funds will continue to make Preble County a great
place to live and raise a family, and I look forward to seeing these
projects make a difference in our community.”
The Capital Budget was signed into law by Governor John Kasich earlier
this year, and funding for these projects became available on July 1st.
The Preble County Fairgrounds funding will include money for electrical
upgrades, building improvements, and roadway improvements.
In total, Preble County proposals received over $1 million, including
funding for the completion of the Amphitheater and an accessible
playground for all children, which will be sponsored by the Board of
Developmental Disabilities.
