Proposal Being Considered That Would Transfer Ownership Of Jackson County Fairgrounds

January 19, 2023 Steve Schwaller

(Jackson, Mn.)– Jackson County is looking to slowly transfer the fairgrounds to the Jackson County Ag Society, in a move that county officials say will make running the fair easier, while also helping out the county.

The deal would see the county transfer the land on a $1 lease to the Ag Society, then perhaps in the future see a real sale of the lands instead of just the lease.

It is very common in Minnesota for an agricultural society to run and manage a county fair, and for them to also own the land where the far is held.
