Hardwick residents vote Saturday on developer’s push to build horserace track in town
Hardwick residents vote on developer's push to build horserace track in town. Voting ends at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Developers want to develop a $20 million horse-racing facility. They want a sports betting license. The site proposed for the track is state-protected farmland. Opponents gathered at the polling site to sway voters toward their side. Cara Wilczynski, who organized the petition, said about 50 to 60 opponents of the plan convened at school. She said the developers have tried to highlight plans for an equine center even though they have indicated they won't pursue the development if they can't secure licenses for gambling operations.
