Warren County election results could shape fate of controversial fairgrounds

WARREN COUNTY, Ohio — Longtime incumbent Commissioner Tom Grossman defeated Lebanon Mayor Mark Messer in the Warren County Republican primary, a result that could play a major role in determining the future of the county fairgrounds.

The results came in just one week after Lebanon city officials said they were unable to strike a deal with the county to buy the property.

Despite a voter turnout of just 21%, Warren County Board of Elections Director Brian Sleeth said the race was important for the fate of the fairground.

"These are the elections where people are making decisions that will directly affect your livelihood here," Sleeth said.
