Groups discuss combining efforts on race track proposal
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Two western Pennsylvania groups vying for the state’s final harness racing license have talked about combining their efforts, instead of competing against one another for the license, a state lawmaker said.
State Rep. Chris Sainato, D-Beaver, said that representatives for Bedford Downs, which wants to build a track in Lawrence County, and Valley View Downs, which wants to build a track in Beaver County, have talked about working together because of a looming July 2009 deadline to win the license.
