JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colorado — Jefferson County Commissioners are considering shutting down the county fairgrounds to save money amid budget cuts.
Mark Skelter, the advisory committee chairman, said operating the Jefferson County Fairgrounds costs about $1.8 million per year. The operation does recoup about $500,000 by charging to use the facilities, according to Skelter, meaning the county would save about $1.3 million each year if it is shut down.

Or JeffCo could sell it to developers and make up for other shortfalls in the current budget. Would be a nice spot for apartments with easy access to light rail and 6th avenue.
