Commission Gives Approval for Austintown Racino




The Ohio Racing Commission agreed Wednesday to allow Penn National move forward with plans to build a racino in Austintown.

Penn National Gaming and the commission met in Columbus Wednesday morning where the final plans were approved to build the Hollywood Slots at Mahoning Valley Racecourse near Route 46 and the I-80 interchange in Austintown. A license transfer from Beulah Park, near Columbus, to Austintown has been approved.



The revised plans include 1,001 live racing seats, dormitories for jockeys and a larger stable area.

The latest revisions were the third set of plans Penn National had submitted to the commission for review. The two side met six times between March 12 and May1.
