Fair board agrees to proceed on Expo upgrade

The Kansas State Fair Board agreed Tuesday to take bids on some construction and building upgrade projects on the fairgrounds, including a long-delayed estimated $2.37 million project at the Expo I horse exhibition center.
A few should be done in time for this year’s state fair, and others – including the Expo center – won’t start until it’s over.
Even then, however, at least two buildings on the grounds that are currently closed to the public – the Capper Building and the Bison Arena – will remain so, as will the Encampment Building dormitories.
Most of the Fair Board took an hour-long tour of the grounds Tuesday morning, before going into a several-hour retreat and then holding its May board meeting. ....

A view of Greenleaf Gardens by the author.

Now, DCHA has brought that co-development team into its first meetings with residents and stakeholders to explain the proposal that so inspired confidence in DCHA’s selection committee. Here’s what that proposal entails and how it relates to what DCHA required in its request for proposals (RFP).
The winning proposal
