Rep. Troy Announces $106K for Lake County Fair Board

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Daniel P. Troy (D-Willowick) today announced funding for The Lake County Agricultural Society. These allocations are part of a larger $10M in grants for all 94 county and independent fairs across the state. Funding was awarded by Ohio’s County and Independent Fair Grant Program, with the intent to provide local agricultural societies with the capital to make improvements such as upgrades to grounds, electrical and sanitation systems, machinery and equipment, and ADA accommodations.

“As a member of the House Finance & Appropriation Committee and as ranking member of the Agricultural and Natural Resources Subcommittee that recommended this appropriation in the state budget bill (House Bill 33), I strongly advocated for and supported these dollars to help our county fairs throughout Ohio,” said Rep. Troy.

House Bill 33 was passed earlier in the 135th General Assembly making these funds possible and guaranteeing that they were distributed evenly among all eligible applicants. 

A complete list of Ohio’s fairs is available on the Department of Agriculture’s website.
