River Downs’ 2013 meet could be moved to Beulah Park in Columbus to accommodate construction of a $250 million casino complex at the Anderson Township racing strip, according to this article in the Blood-Horse.

At least one possibility for redeveloping Beulah Park could impact where the new Grove City Library is constructed. Nothing is official or decided yet, but one possible idea for Beulah Park was presented to Grove City Council members Feb. 3 by Joe Ciminello, developer of the Pinnacle Golf Club and housing development.

It proposes a Grove City community recreation center at the heart of the racetrack property, to become vacant this summer. And it identifies other uses including single-family and multi-family housing, about 50 acres of commercial/industrial flex space, memorial gardens and park space built around the old finish line and the community center.
