Abstract

"News" piece on a year-long extension of the Bangor Raceway's lease by the city's Business and Economic Development Committee. The unanimous vote was expected, but the future of the harness racing track is uncertain. The track has been an institution in Bangor for more than 100 years, but the current operation is a break-even-at-best financial situation. The committee is studying potential reuses for Bass Park, which includes the raceway, and may not renew the lease if Bangor Historic Track, the leasee, refused to make a long-term commitment.
