Construction
is underway on the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds, our new multipurpose
events center at
25690 E. Quincy Ave., Aurora that will be the permanent home of the County
Fair.
The 45,000 square-foot events/exhibition center, which is the first building of several planned for the 236-acre site, is designed to serve a variety of functions in addition to the County Fair, such as meetings, graduations, science fairs, seminars, receptions, conferences and exhibits. The Center will include a large conference area with breakout/meeting rooms, a warming kitchen, ticket office, small offices, livestock barn and water tower. Future phases include an indoor arena, outdoor arena and horse barn, office and maintenance facilities. Approximately 110 acres adjacent to the Fairgrounds is planned for open space, park and trails.
Cost of the initial phase of the project is $9.4 million and is funded in part by Conservation Trust (State lottery revenues) and Open Space Designated Heritage Area funds. These funds can only be used for parks, recreation, historic and open space projects. The County has earmarked $8.5 million of these funds for the project and is seeking private donations to help complete the multipurpose event center and build out of future phases.
Citizens interested in investing their time, talents or money for the new fairgrounds can get involved in the County’s Fair Planning Committee, or by making a tax-deductible donation to the Arapahoe County Foundation, Inc., 1690 W. Littleton Blvd., Littleton, CO 80120-5707.
