That’s how it should’ve been the entire time. Why spend so much $$$ on such a limited purpose facility?
Still wondering why the state government owns the state fairgrounds. In Iowa, a non-profit organization not only owns that state’s fairgrounds and buildings, but maintains all of its facilities without spending tax dollars. Oh, by the way, the Iowa State Fair is bigger than Indiana’s (their 313 acres to our 214 acres).
The General Assembly created a Board of Agriculture in 1851 to promote the state’s agricultural industry and the Board decided to hold an annual state fair as a type of trade show as part of its mission starting in 1852. The fair was held at various locations until the Board bought the present site of the fairgrounds in 1891. So, that’s the history.
As for whether the government or a nonprofit owns and operates the state fairgrounds, I am not sure either structure is preferable to the other—ultimately, a nonprofit would be supported by the state. And, there is nothing inherently better about having a nonprofit run anything. Finally, Iowa’s state fairgrounds has more acres…okay, that’s nice. I have never heard anyone say the Indiana state fairgrounds needs more acreage.
Cool!!
