OWENSBORO MAYOR TOM WATSON SAYS CHURCHILL DOWNS DECISION NOT TO OPEN AN ELLIS PARK EXTENSION FACILITY AT TOWNE SQUARE MALL WASN’T ABOUT GAMBLING RATHER SMOKING.
CHURCHILL DOWNS SAID IN A STATEMENT WEDNESDAY IT WAS SHIFTING PLANS AND EVALUATING NEW LOCATIONS.
THE OWENSBORO CITY COMMISSION HAD TRIED TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION TO THE CITY’S SMOKING BAN IN ORDER FOR THE FACILITY TO OPERATE BUT PLANS DIDN’T MEET THE BAN.
WITH HUNDREDS OF JOBS COMING WITH THE EXTENSION FACILITY MAYOR WATSON IS HOPEFUL THE NEW LOCATION WILL BE CLOSE TO OWENSBORO.
