Two committees will consider plans for the old Fairgrounds property as well as the South Jefferson Avenue property that currently houses the school bus garage and the highway department.
Putnam County Commissioners formed the two working groups Monday night to further explore the sale of two pieces of county property.
Commissioner Mike Atwood said the committee will make decisions about the timeline and how to move that process forward. Among those decisions will be when and how to involve the Fair Board, the School Board, and staff involved in all three facilities.
“These committees have a lot to do,” Atwood said.
Commissioners also voted to allow County Mayor Randy Porter to move forward on drawings and price estimates for a new Veterans Museum/Doll Museum history center. The Highway 70 facility would be built on the land that housed the Patton Doll Museum. That facility suffered damage in the March tornado and cannot be repaired.
FEMA will pay for the construction of the new facility.
