VICI Properties Announces Donation of Bluegrass Downs
VICI Properties Inc. (NYSE: VICI) (“VICI Properties” or the “Company”) announced that it has agreed to gift nearly 58 acres of land that formerly housed the Bluegrass Downs Race Track, located in Paducah, KY, to McCracken County. The land will be used as a youth recreational sports complex for soccer, baseball and softball to benefit roughly 1,200 children in the local area. Bluegrass Downs ceased operations in October 2019. This transaction does not impact any of the Company’s lease agreements.
John Payne, President and Chief Operating Officer of VICI Properties, said, “VICI is glad to be able to make this donation, which will directly benefit the communities in Paducah and McCracken County.”
Craig Clymer, McCracken County Judge-Executive, said, “We are delighted. The location is perfect for our needs. For decades, kids have been playing soccer at the old landfill site. This gives us the opportunity to dramatically improve our situation. We have heard from so many parents about traveling on weekends to play in other cities. Now we have a chance to attract others to McCracken County. I wish to thank VICI for its generous contribution.”
