Wal-Mart dropped plans to build at Highway 77 and West Denton Road, which was a huge blow for the development planned there. So now the developer is offering up the land for the State Fair. In many respects it's an excellent location. It's much more accessible than either the Fair's current location or the Events Center's location. Nevertheless, I don't see it happening. It was a nice offer, though.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I would hate to be part of the team that chooses the next fair grounds location. They’ll never be able to win that one.
Why don’t we just shut down the state fair? All it dose is lose money.
It’s not rocket science to go to the County Assessor’s website and figure out who owns the land surrounding this disaster. And let me tell you, the owner of the land to the south will expect some big figures thrown at him.
I may be remembering this incorrectly, but isn’t that area the property that was identified to be in a flood plain when a lost flood plain map turned up recently?
That could have some bearing on the price of the land if it’s the same property I’m thinking of.
The land directly south of the roundabout is very close to the area you mention. I believe it’s the same creek flowing through the area. So I’d have to say it too would be in a flood plain.
