On Wednesday, the Poarch Creek Indians and the McGregor family announced that the sale of the historic Birmingham Racecourse property was finalized, and the Tribe’s gaming and hotel business, Wind Creek Hospitality, is the official new owner.
Tribal officials, the McGregors, and Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said the location is set to be transformed into a “world-class destination resort in Birmingham” that will spur economic growth for the region.
The property was first established in 1987 as a thoroughbred horse racing track and developed by businessman Milton McGregor throughout the 1990s through its transition to greyhound racing.
