Design plans have been finalized for the first of several buildings being added to the Area 27 motorsports park, near Oliver.
An 11,000 square foot multipurpose building is expected to be completed within 10-months in order to be fully functional for the 2019 season. That space will include a 3,000 square foot event room overlooking the circuit. The building will provide on-site food and beverage services.
