Orange County Fairgrounds back up for sale
COSTA MESA, Calif. The State Department of General Services re-listed the property Tuesday, one week away from a deadline for legislation needed to make the purchase possible. A tentative agreement was struck in June to sell the fairgrounds to Costa Mesa, where the property is located. The city planned to hire a real estate firm to run the fair and other events. However, new legislation involving that third-party involvement has not been written.
