The Sumter County Tourist Development Council is considering a project to extend the Coast 2 Coast Multimodal Path to the fairgrounds. This extension aims to improve access to the fairgrounds and attract more visitors from the local community and beyond. The goal is to increase revenue for local businesses and the fairgrounds through the development of state-of-the-art facilities. This item is currently under review by the council. If approved, the project would likely involve site preparation, path construction, and potentially new facility development. Contractors specializing in civil construction, paving, and landscaping, as well as suppliers of construction materials, could find opportunities. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand the project's scope and prepare for potential bids once plans are finalized.
