Workshop to bring fairgrounds’ future into focus
By Barry Eberling | Daily Republic | March 16, 2009
VALLEJO, CALIF.—Solano County wants help from the public in figuring out ways to make its 152-acre fairgrounds in Vallejo a bustling place year-round.
The site has the type of location that real estate agents so often rave about, with easy access from Interstate 80 and Highway 37. But it also has decades-old buildings and hosts few big events outside of the annual county fair.
Vallejo-based Brooks Street consultants on Wednesday will lead a community workshop to develop a vision for the future of the fairgrounds. The workshop will be 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the fairgrounds, 900 Fairgrounds Drive.
