Visions of what could replace the racetrack were swirling in people's heads- from those who will miss the horse races to those who are celebrating its shutdown.
As news broke that Golden Gate Fields is closing later this year, we looked into what could possibly take over its 140-acre parcel of land., all eyes turned to the city of Albany who could have a say in potentially rezoning the 140 acre bay front piece of property.
The track was dark Monday - but visions of what could replace the racetrack were swirling in people's heads- from those who will miss the horse races to those who are celebrating its shutdown. Track owners announced over the weekend that they'll be closing. "They will be coming up with a plan of what they want to do- if they want to sell. Albany has some say in it if the use of Golden Gate Fields is going to change then the zoning will have to change," said Albany Mayor Aaron Tiedemann.
