The Nebraska State Fair has announced plans for a $5.4 million building that will provide exhibition space and headquarters for the State Fair staff.

State Fair Executive Director Joseph McDermott says the Nebraska Building will be the “final piece of the original Nebraska State Fair building complex plan.”

McDermott says construction should begin within 30 days and be finished by the end of the year.

The building will be erected just inside the main State Fair Boulevard entrance. It will have 54,000 square feet of exhibition space on the ground level and 10,800 square feet for offices on the upper level.
