Do you think further investment into the Lane County Fairgrounds is a necessity? I voted “no” with the other 53%. The WP Lane County Commissioners who want the ballpark don’t have any connection with or desire to support current Livestock Building events such as the annual Oregon Logging Conference, livestock shows, or other events, e.g., various dog shows, Dozer Day, etc. Their promise to build another Livestock Building after the current one is demolished most likely will not happen adjacent to the Lane Events Center where it needs to be. In round numbers, there’s about a $50 million gap between the estimated cost of the multi-use facility and the money committed by Lane County, the Ems, the State of Oregon, and the federal government. So, guess where THAT money’s gonna come from? If you guessed property taxes, you get a gold star.
