The Washington County Fair Association was the recipient of the Hotel/Motel Tourism Committee grant. 

The $2500 grant is for the new restroom facility that will be constructed on the north side of the fairgrounds. The restrooms will be another permanent, handicap accessible restroom with five stalls for women, two stalls/four urinals for men plus two family bathrooms. Each of the family bathrooms will contain a toilet, sink, hand dryer/towels and an adult changing table. The access into the facility will be level and easy to use for a stroller, wheel chair or walker. 

The Hotel/Motel Tax Fund Administration Committee advises the City Council on the most efficient and effective uses of revenue derived from the Hotel/Motel tax, including conducting long-term planning, visioning, and development of written plans. 

The restroom will be completed before the start of this year’s Washington County Fair on July 13th.
