Placer County is seeking public input on the draft environmental
report for the proposed Placer County Sports and Event Center project at
the Placer County Fairgrounds in Roseville, now called @the Grounds.
A
public meeting on the proposal set for September 17 from 6-8 p.m., at Johnson Hall
at the Placer County Fairgrounds, 800 All America City Blvd., in
Roseville..
The proposed project is a collaboration between Placer Valley Tourism
and Placer County. An initial phase would see construction of a
160,000-square-foot, indoor sports and event center, with the potential
for adding a 30,000-square-foot expansion and a 6,000-square-foot
culinary building later.
The proposed sports and event center facility would be designed for
hosting various sport events and tournaments such as volleyball,
basketball, martial arts, dance and cheer competitions. The potential
culinary building would include a demonstration kitchen, food storage
area, meeting rooms, banquet rooms and offices.
The draft environmental impact report is available for public comment until October 8.
As part of the county's environmental review process, a public
hearing on a draft environmental impact report is held during the public
review period to encourage public comment and community participation.

disabilities. Those needing special assistive devices will be
accommodated to the county’s best ability. For more information, please
