Culture Map Dallas reported that the Dallas City Council voted unanimously to hand control of Fair Park over to the Fair Park First Foundation, a nonprofit that will oversee management of the park.
The day to day operations of the park will be overseen by Spectra, a Comcast-owned, for-profit organization. Culture Map Dallas reported that Spectra manages over 300 other properties across the U.S., including 22 fairgrounds.
The city council approved $36.4 million to fund Fair Park over the next 10 years.
