Farm Show Commission Urges
Action On Site Selection
Relocation of the Faim Show
complex at Site “B” has been
it-commended to Gov Raymond
P Shafer in a lettei sent by the
Stale Faim Pioducts Show Com
mission
The recommendation, unanim
ously adopted by the Commis
sion in a meeting in conjunction
with the 54th annual Farm Show
this week, urges that appropriate
action be taken soon to enable
speedy completion of the new
complex
It also lequests that the Gen
eial State Authority take neces
sary action at its Jan 27 meet
mg to proceed with Part 111 of
the site plan and study foi cap

Site B was ougmally endorsed
by the Commission on Oct 10,
1969. and the letter to Gov Sha
fer reaffirms that recommenda
tion This latest action followed
a thorough review of findings by From the standpoint of econ
the architectural and engmeei - °my, the Commission found that
mg surveys, opinions of individ- engineering and construction
uals and organizations and con- costs would appear to be consid
sideration of present and future erably less on Site B
needs
The Commission expressed its
hope that the new complex could
be completed and available for
the 200th anmveisary of the
United States in 1976 The state’s
historical ties with the founding
ot America and the agianan set
ting in which it took place would
suggest a new complex as an
ideal location for special events
commsmoiatmg the anmveisary
Site B is located less than a
mile noith of the present Farm
Show complex and will be ad
lacent to Intel state 81 when that
highway is completed Further,
the network of inteistate high
ways leading to Hainsbuig and
Interstate 81 would place this
site in a very strategic location
In making the recommenda
tion, the Commission based its

SECOND SECTION
Tn comments fiom commercial
users of the complex, the Com
mission found that the most sat
isfactory accommodations and
in some cases the only accommo
dations can be piovided in a
new ground-level access type of
complex.
The problem of surface vehicle
movement grows worse each
year at the present location,
while the Commission found that
completion of Interstate 81 and
the relocation and improvement
of Crooked Hill Road and Elm
erton Avenue promised condi
tions of relatively smooth-flowing
vehicular traffic
Site B offers about twice as
much surface area for all pur
poses and has much greater po
tential for expansion and flexi
bihty by means of its landscape.
The complex is planned for a
minimum of 40 years’ use.
Other important factors also
considered were the rural sett
ing of Site B, the availability of
the present complex for use dur
ing the new construction phase
and better utilization of the land
in a single block as opposed to
the present location enlarged
through the addition of land
across Cameron Street resulting
in three separate aieas
