Steering Committee

The Valley County Fairgrounds Master Plan Steering Committee is a group of local leaders, stakeholders, and project team members assembled to guide and inform the planning process for the future of the Fairgrounds. Representing Valley County, the UI Extension, the Fair Board, the City of Cascade, and the broader community, committee members bring valuable expertise in local government, 4-H, facilities, construction, events, and long-range planning. Their role includes providing input on site needs and priorities, reviewing draft materials, helping to shape public engagement, and ensuring the Master Plan reflects the interests of users and residents. This committee works in coordination with Clearwater Financial and Valley County leadership to ensure the plan supports long-term public use, operational efficiency, and economic development goals.
