Gambling may be coming to Bowling Green after all, just not in the site originally proposed by the owners of Franklin’s Kentucky Downs.
Rejected in May by the City-County Planning Commission of Warren County when they proposed building a satellite location of their Mint Gaming Hall on Bowling Green’s Ken Bale Boulevard, Kentucky Downs owners Marc Falcone and Ron Winchell are back with a new plan.
Through a new Las Vegas-headquartered corporation called ECL BG LLC, Falcone and Winchell filed in July a building permit with the city of Bowling Green that calls for a $6.2 million renovation of the former hh gregg store in the Greenwood Market Place shopping center at 2475 Scottsville Road.
