Demolition of the remaining structures at the former Raceway Park harness racing track in North Toledo is scheduled to begin tomorrow (Tuesday, March 24).
News media are welcome to visit the site between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday. After that, special arrangements will be required for media access to the site.
Media contact for the demolition contractor, Midwest Environmental Control, Inc., is:
David Bruhl, project manager (419) 382-9200
On Tuesday, media representatives should report to the security checkpoint located at the main entrance at 5700 Telegraph Rd. For safety reasons, please wear closed, hard-soled footwear appropriate for a construction site.
Raceway Park held its last live racing program on Sept. 15, 2013, and the track's simulcast wagering facility closed on June 30, 2014.
The racing license was transferred to the new Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway in North Dayton, which inaugurated live harness racing on Oct. 3, 2014.
