Proposal for animal race track denied by Elkhart County Board of Zoning Appeals

ELKHART COUNTY, Ind. -- A proposal for an outdoor horse racing track on County Road 14 has been denied by the Elkhart County Board of Zoning Appeals.

While the choice can still be appealed, the track was denied after board members said that the proposed plan did not account for accommodations to local residents, traffic and parking.

Board members said that they could not see a future for a racecourse at the location.
