Panel delays action on track project in Mahoning Township
Joe Canfora, CEO of Merit Manage Group of Chicago, said the firm, named to run the planned Mahoning Township racetrack and casino, needs more time to prepare before breaking ground. The Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission met and did not act on proposals from American Harness Tracks, which bid 5.6 million dollars at a bankruptcy auction for Centaur Gaming assets and seeks to provide needed financial and management information. Commissioner Dan Vogler noted American Harness hopes to capitalize on Ohio delays, as Ohio Roundtable discussed the stalled project.
