Project Overview
Kinross Charter Township seeks $5 million in federal funding to replace the critically deteriorated 1976 wooden grandstand at the 100-acre Chippewa County Fairgrounds in Kinross, Michigan (U.S. House District 1). Following a 2023 safety incident where a spectator fell through the stands, engineers mandated 60-70% capacity limits on the 1,800-seat structure and full replacement within five years. This project will deliver a modern 4,000-seat ADA-compliant all-weather grandstand with restrooms, concessions, press box, multipurpose room, and critical water/sewer upgrades.
Total Project Cost: ~$6 million
Local Match: $500K+ (Kinross Charter Township) + user group contributions
