Changes are now underway at Fair Park after an audit determined $5.7 million donated for capital projects was misused for operating expenses.
More changes are now underway at Fair Park after an audit found millions of donated money was misused."The community wants to make – and when I say community, it’s the larger community and those who live around it – wants to make sure that the promise is kept. This is part of keeping the promise," said Veletta Forsythe-Lill, the chair of Fair Park First’s board.Forsythe-Lill is working to get plans for a long-awaited community park in Fair Park back on track.
Oak View Group disputes that claim."In the past, Oak View Group had access to all funds – operating, unrestricted, or restricted fundraising. Now, they simply manage direct operating expenses," Forsythe-Lill said.The Dallas Foundation has been around since 1929, and its responsibility in investing and distributing funds will be to those who make the donations for capital projects.
