Expo 2031 picks Lakeville site for six-month fair

Expo 2031 organizers have secured a nearly 57-acre site in Lakeville to serve as a permanent campus for a six-month international expo, organizers said.[1]

Organizers said the expo is expected to draw millions of visitors over its run and that the Lakeville purchase is a major step toward staging the event.[1]

Organizers had "zeroed in on" the nearly 57-acre tract before completing the purchase, saying the property would provide long-term facilities for the fair.[1]

Organizers and local officials will now move to planning and permitting ahead of the six-month event, a stage organizers described as necessary to prepare for the expected influx of visitors.[1]
