The New York State Fairgrounds are getting a major makeover. 

Governor Andrew Cuomo says a $50 million redesign plan will transform the Fairgrounds in Onondaga County into a year-round, premier multi-use facility that can attract more events and visitors from across the nation.

The plan includes a new multi-purpose exposition center, an expanded festival stage to bring in larger concerts, a larger Midway to accommodate more attractions and a 400-site RV Park.

Cuomo says the fairgrounds have been in need of a major upgrade since they've remained essentially the same for a century.
