Dane County, Wisconsin, county executive Joe Parisi, says the county wants to continue its relationship with World Dairy Expo.
A top concern for World Dairy Expo, which led to the cancelation of the event last fall, are the COVID-19 meeting restrictions in Dane County and Madison, Wisconsin.
The offer was announced last week. World Dairy Expo has yet to respond. Members of the World Dairy Expo Board will have to review the contract and the county must approve it before the agreement is in place.
In a traditional year, World Dairy Expo welcomes upwards of 70,000 attendees and provides an economic impact of more than $45 million each year.
