Brazos County Expo Complex Needs At Least $10 Million Dollars In Deferred Maintenance Repairs

The Brazos County Expo Complex, which opened in 2007, is in need of at least $10 million dollars of deferred maintenance. A presentation to county commissioners Tuesday (May 7) by the county’s project manager contained priority one recommendations from an outside consultant. The list given by Trevor Lansdown addressed the exhibit hall and the parking lot. Yet to be done, is evaluating the condition of the rest of the complex. Lansdown’s summary included replacing exhibit hall’s roof, which was not included in the $10 million dollar estimate. Inside the building, consultants recommended adding water valves to allow plumbing repairs to specific areas without shutting down water service to the entire expo complex. Another recommendation was adding stairs to access the overhead heating and air conditioning units and electrical panels. Lansdown said current access is by using a scissor lift. Commissioners were also told the exhibit hall floor, the parking lot, and perimeter fences needed attention.
