In September 2022 Charlemont's Parks and Recreation Department received a grant in the amount of $500,000 (to be shared between the Fairgrounds and the local school) to redesign the site for enhanced community use. The Town's overarching goal was to transform the site into a gathering place for the community that could be used year-round, by all ages, with both open and sheltered spaces. The Town also considered whether, with improved facilities,the Fairgrounds could support events of region-wide interest, potentially bringing in more visitors.
