The Chilton County Board of Education voted to lease several parcels of land to the county for $1 per year for 25 years at the regularly scheduled board meeting Tuesday.

The land is located off Chilton County Road 28, or Second Avenue South, near the intersection with Alabama Highway 145.

Earlier this year, the board expressed interest in creating a long-term lease with the county to allow it to use more than 13 acres of land the board owns for the annual Chilton County Fair sponsored by the Clanton Kiwanis Club.

Since the Kiwanis Club is a not-for-profit organization, the land (sometimes referred to as “the old Adair School land”) would have to be in the county’s name in order for the club to use it for the fair.

The county and city of Clanton each own portions of land around the board’s land that would also need to be used for the fairgrounds.
