BELLEVUE- The City of Bellevue has received an update on a study concerning the potential construction of a horse racing track, with officials calling the findings encouraging.

The new study, conducted by the Innovation Group and commissioned by the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission, said a quarter horse racetrack in Bellevue could be a plus for the Nebraska racing industry when paired with two other Nebraska tracks.

An application for a race track license has been filed with the Racing and Gaming Commission for almost three years. "It is not just going to be a casino that has horses," said John Hassett, "We want a nice racetrack." BelleVue Downs, the proposed casino and racetrack, is predicted to bring a $4 million increase to the statewide racing industry.
