Echo Park Speedway, formerly known as Atlanta Motor Speedway, is proposing to build a massive resort complex that includes a casino in Hampton. The proposed development at the speedway would feature a destination resort, convention center, amusement park and a casino.
However, the inclusion of a casino requires a constitutional amendment, which would need to be approved by Georgia lawmakers and voters.
“We have a plan to build a complete complex,” said Ed Clark, with Echo Park Speedway. Clark emphasized the potential benefits of having a casino as the centerpiece of the development.
Mike Griffin of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board is against the plan.
