Iowa horse track financing stalls amid delays
Richard Wilkey faced Polk County supervisors with a revised timeline for a $51 million project on 240 acres beside Adventureland Park in Altoona. The plan hinges on a $40 million tax exempt bond issue backed by the county, a $4 million bank loan, and a $7 million equipment lease loan that fell through after a Michigan supplier demanded guarantees. Wilkey expressed cautious optimism that financing could still be arranged despite delays and tightened conditions from Piper, Jaffray and Hopwood Inc.
