Washington County Invests in Star Power for Real Estate Expo
March 27, 2025 - 07:57
Washington County recently allocated over $30,000 to secure HGTV personality Hilary Farr as the keynote speaker for its Real Estate Expo held earlier this month. This significant expenditure was funded through federal pandemic recovery resources designated for blight mitigation efforts within the county.
Farr, known for her engaging presence on television, was promoted as the main attraction of the expo, which took place on March 12. The event aimed to foster discussions on real estate trends, investment opportunities, and community development. By inviting a high-profile figure like Farr, the county sought to draw attention and enhance the overall appeal of the expo.
The decision to utilize pandemic recovery funds has sparked a conversation about the appropriateness of such spending, especially in light of ongoing community needs. However, organizers believe that Farr's participation will ultimately benefit local real estate stakeholders and contribute to the county's growth and revitalization efforts.
