Pennsylvania
Racetrack Hearings Set for Monday
As reported by the Pittsburgh
Business Journal: "Public hearings on two
proposals to establish thoroughbred racetracks
in Western Pennsylvania are scheduled for Monday.
"The
Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission has
set a meeting for 10 a.m. at the McKeesport
Area School District administrative offices
concerning an application by 1935 Inc. to build
a one-mile dirt track off Coulter Road in South
Versailles.
"…The
track is being proposed by five members of the
Biros family, who would like to build it on
140 acres they own near a bend in the Youghiogheny
River.
"The
track the Biros family envisions is fairly modest
as thoroughbred tracks go. Plans call for a
grandstand that will provide room for 1,800
customers and a parking lot with space for 2,200
cars.
"…At
3 p.m. on Monday, the commission has scheduled
a public hearing on an application by Beaver
County businessman Charles Betters to build
a racetrack in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of
Hays on a bluff overlooking the Monongahela
River…"
