The Dayton City Commission unanimously approved Penn National\u2019s development plans to build a racino at the site of a former Delphi plant. There will be a harness track, 600-seat grandstand and 1,500 VLTs. Construction is expected to begin in the spring and open in the second quarter of 2014.<\/p>\n
Hurdles still remain. Penn National\u2019s application to relocate Raceway Park from Toledo to Dayton and their application to obtain a VLT operator\u2019s license must still be approved. And a decision in the appeal of a Franklin County ruling that tossed a lawsuit challenging the legality of VLTs at racetracks is still pending.<\/p>\n
The Hard Rock racino at Northfield Park will be known as Rocksino. The name is a play on racino and a tribute to Cleveland being the birthplace of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. Rocksino is scheduled to open in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
