Demolition will continue through mid-May to make way for the construction of the 155,000 square-foot building that will replace the current grandstand. LP Ciminelli of Buffalo, NY is the construction manager for the demolition project. The firm is also the contractor for the new Winners off-track wagering facility slated to open this July in Bayonne, NJ. Ciminelli is recycling all the cementitious material from the backstretch demolition for reuse on site.
