Fort Erie

[quikcolin]

I don't know much, but from what I've heard this could be one heck of a track/facility! Im sure there have been threads about it before, but something tells me there has been more information made available recently.... soooooo....

Who knows anything about this? What have you heard?

If this actually happens it would be pretty amazing.

Are there issues? Or you just not very optimistic?

They got the final approval from Fort Erie fairly recently. I haven't been by there to see if they've broken ground or not.

Hey buddy!

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the dozers are getting loaded up and ready to "do work"!!!

I'm not very optimistic. I'm in the Niagara Region, and I've heard about this racetrack for about 20 years now.

If/when they start construction, I'll believe it.

Guh...There's no talking to stupid people so why bother. Hopefully the city pushes it through, which is what they should do if they want Fort Erie to avoid the fate of the rest of the region.

The Niagara Region is becoming (has become?) a massive **** hole with no redeeming value or reason to venture to (aside from the wine). If it weren't for Niagara Falls and the wine region, it would be as bad as Detroit.

With the new performing arts and brock arts campus going downtown, hopefully that will do something...it will probably turn St. Catharines into a pure University City...I guess that's better than a dwindling GM city. But yea...if they fcuk that up like they fcked up the 4 pad rink.......city hall aint too bright around here. Niagara Falls is mafia run (not as bad as quebec....yet), but what do you expect from a border city... Average income in st.catharines is low $20 000.....

Fate of the rest of the region? There's talk that the Ft. Erie Race Track (the existing one for horse's) can't hold its own even with the addition of slot machines. A racetrack that holds 10-20 events a year won't be too profitable either, and that's all today’s society wants, high return on investment.

St. Catharines will have a hospital, Ft. Erie wont.

Yet Toronto has had two murders for 2011, Niagara none. Rush hour delays, Niagara wins again. Condo bike thefts, well, we have very few condos, so maybe that's not a fair comparison. Which city is similar to Detroit now?

This thread is supposed to be a discussion of a possible race track in the area, not about the +/- ratio of the region.
