Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 8, 2019 Journalists Share Posted May 8, 2019 The Maryland Board of Public Works voted to approve the Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area Equine Improvements project Wednesday. Construction will begin later this month to upgrade the facilities and continue Fair Hill’s preparations to host its first international 5-Star Event in 2020. A formal groundbreaking event is being planned around the 85th Fair Hill Races taking place May 24-25. “The approval by the Board of Public Works is a very big step toward sustaining the future of Fair Hill,” said Jay Griswold, Vice President of the Fair Hill Foundation’s Board of Directors. “We look forward to construction getting underway and advancing the plans for the 5-Star event next year. This is an exciting day for Maryland and all of our great partners who have been supporting this project from the beginning.” Upgrades for the venue include construction of a new cross-country course, already in development under course designer Ian Stark. Three new equestrian arenas will be installed on the in-field of the turf course for dressage and show jumping. Fair Hill’s historic turf racecourse, built in the late 1920s, is also being restored. The course will be resurfaced, realigned, and irrigated.
