FAIRMONT — The site many people know as the Taylor County Fairgrounds is temporarily being used for another purpose.
The Taylor County Fair Association has leased the fairgrounds property to Kenny Construction Company, the construction manager/contractor for Allegheny Energy’s Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line (TrAIL). Allen Staggers, manager of corporate communications for Allegheny, said the lease agreement was finalized at the end of April for an initial 30-month term.

The project has been approved by the utility commissions in all three states.
