The Orange County Fair & Event Center is not going anywhere thanks to legislation signed by Governor Jerry Brown on Monday.
“I thank the governor for his support for my bill, which deletes the provisions of state law exposing the property to a potential sale,” said Assemblyman Tom Daly (D-Anaheim). “The Fair & Event Center is a source of pride and enjoyment for people across Orange County, and this ensures it will remain the special place that it is.”
Gov. Jerry Brown put pen to paper Monday and signed a bill that bars the sale of the Orange County Fair & Event Center property.
The bill, AB 1907, was introduced in February by state Assemblyman Tom Daly, D-Anaheim, and passed by wide margins in the Assembly and Senate, on June 1 and Aug. 17, respectively.
