They tried to sell it 2-5 years ago, but everyone raised a stink. There was two or three proposals form a developer. One was sell the whole plot of land and the person buying would give them land (that is a swamp) and money behind the fairgrounds for the whole place. Another was just the land south of the tracks selling and the fair board was to get the swamp land and less money. A petition went around and the fairboard didn't take the proposals. I agree, time to sell is past.
