Gallia County Fair Grounds May Become Building Lots
Gallia County Agricultural Society has not decided the fate of 15 acres of fair grounds in Gallipolis. Flood damage after January wrecked barns and stalls, with salvage underway and debris to be burned. Potential uses include a summer resort or residential development along Route 7. CCC barracks remain. WPA offices operate there. State officials doubt another county fair will occur.
