JANESVILLE--A resolution to set aside land for a future Rock County 4-H Fairgrounds will go back to the committee that wrote it.

The Rock County Board Staff Committee Tuesday voted to table a resolution to set aside 100 acres of the former Rock County Farm property. The resolution, approved last week by the agriculture and extension committee specified property at the northeast corner of the intersection of highways 51 and 14, across from the Rock County Jail.

A similar resolution failed at the county board level in 2004.

The resolution will have to work its way back through the ag and extension and staff committees before going to the full board for approval.

I would hope this issue will be resolved and in favor of moving the fairgrounds sooner rather than later.
