The Garrett County Roads Department has been busy working on the parking lot area at the fairgrounds in McHenry, general roads superintendent Jay Moyer indicated during a departmental update report for the county commissioners on Tuesday. He also reviewed paving projects and discussed adoption of an entrance permit policy with the officials.
"The bottom line is that the parking lot will be ready for use the week of the fair," Moyer said. "So that should squelch any rumors that the fair is going to be canceled because the parking lot is not ready."
A five-acre area was excavated for the lot, with about 18 inches of top soil removed. A local contractor then donated 12,000 cubic yards of suitable sub-base material and approximately 2,000 cubic yards of Grizzly base stone was laid over the area.
About 2,000 cubic yards of CR6 stone will be spread over the parking lot prior to the 55th annual Garrett County Agriculture Fair, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 13, through Saturday, Aug. 20.
In addition, 27 bases were installed for future lighting and five storm water collection inlets were constructed.
"There's definitely a lot of work yet to be done," Moyer noted.
