Fate of Lawrence Co. racino to be learned next month
NEW CASTLE, Pa. — Lawrence County elected representatives have learned they must wait until next month for any news on the fate of Valley View Downs.
The county commissioners, state Rep. Chris Sainato of New Castle, D-9th, and state Rep. Rob Matzie of Ambridge, D-16th, who represents parts of Beaver and Allegheny counties, attended Wednesday’s Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission meeting in Harrisburg.
