Woodlands opens major pari mutuel dog racing near I 435
The Woodlands in western Wyandotte County near I 70 and I 435 breaks ground with about 68 million dollars for a dog track complex and an eight month greyhound season starting September 14, followed by a May unveiling of a second track for thoroughbred and quarter horse racing. The venture of Sunflower Racing will employ about 650 workers, rising to 1,000 with horse racing. Community leaders foresee a catalyzing economic boost for Kansas City, Kansas, and the I-435 corridor, with land already rezoned for more development as the venue aims to draw year round crowds and attention.
