Fairgrounds planners this week embarked on a two-year mission to decide what to do with a silent amphitheater, crumbling buildings and lots of space.
Officials from the Orange County Fair and Exposition Center enlisted Irvine-based LSA Associates Inc. to come up with the first new plan for the fairgrounds in 12 years.
Becky Bailey-Findley, the general manager of the fairgrounds, said the consultants are being paid $600,000 to develop a detailed proposal for new programs, facilities and a cost estimate for the grounds.
Consultants will decide whether to recommend the fair board tear down or renovate the many dilapidated buildings on the site.
