Relocating the Yuma County Fairgrounds remains the top priority for the county, although plans on how to pay for it have shifted.
The Board of Supervisors recently updated the Yuma County Five-Year Economic Development Plan, which lists priorities and objectives for the calendar years 2020 through 2024.
The supervisors initially adopted the plan in March with the understanding that the objectives would need to be changed based on evolving economic circumstances. The newly amended and adopted resolution notes that the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors have impacted the implementation of the plan and the objectives needed to be adjusted accordingly.
The plan implementation strategies will be reviewed annually to reflect the changing economy.
