Ferguson Calls Out Fairgrounds Site Purchase Plan
State Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson criticized the State Fair Grounds Relocation Commission for using a real estate firm to negotiate a new site. He warned that no state funds should be spent and urged the attorney general to handle the matter. The commission, led by ex governor Myers Y. Cooper, plans to buy 524 acres in the Ackerman Road area of Columbus, with a $500,000 legislative appropriation. Ferguson argued alternative land near the current fairgrounds could be used at lower cost and avoid a $50 million building program.
