Columbus, OH — Freedom Township, in south central Adams County, Pa., on the Maryland border, could become the new home for a harness racing track and a casino within about two years, according to a story on GettysburgTimes.com.
Local businessman Dave LeVan announced Thursday that if the licensing and regulations go through, the proposed Mason-Dixon Downs would offer Standardbred racing, and would combine a racetrack and casino.
LeVan plans to apply for the last Pennsylvania harness racing license once the State Horse Racing Commission meets Jan. 26 to come up with an application process. The next step would be to apply for a category 1, gaming license through the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.
