The Woodbine Entertainment Group announced this past summer that its live Standardbred racing product would be moving to Mohawk Racetrack on a full-time basis beginning in 2018. The company has earmarked roughly $10 million to renovate the Campbellville, Ont. facility, and, as images from WEG have shown, work is well underway.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by spring of 2018. The Woodbine Entertainment Group has stated that the upgrades include winterization of the grandstand, race paddock and maintenance facilities; new glass windows across the Terrace Dining Room; and VIP suites and further customer amenities.
Investment in the Milton track is not limited to the construction projects and plant upgrades, according to WEG.
The Woodbine Entertainment Group stated that live Standardbred racing will take place at Mohawk year round (12 months).
The images of the progress which appear below were posted to social media by WEG's publicity department over the past few months.
