HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kansas State Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz said the State Fair Board agreed at its meeting on Tuesday to allow the state to look for a new company to help with a plan for the Grandstand area at the fairgrounds.
"We're going to be putting out an RFP for a new on-call architect firm," Schulz said. "As soon as that gets done, we'll start meetings with them to see what the new Grandstand area could potentially look like."
Schulz is referring to the area beyond the current structure.
"Not the seated part of the grandstand," Schulz said. "It's out in front. It went out last week for an RFP for a new on-call architect firm. As soon as that is approved by the state, then we'll start working with them on potential drawings and cost analysis and everything like that."
Schulz does not know when state approval will come.
