Wyoming Downs and 307 Horse Racing broke ground Tuesday morning for the construction of a new gambling and entertainment facility near the Colorado border.

The facility will be located east of Interstate 25 at Exit 2 in southern Laramie County.

The $80 million entertainment and gambling destination has a targeted opening of spring 2027. Wyoming Downs and 307 Racing President Kyle Ridgeway said the facility will create more than 150 long-term jobs and bring in millions worth of local tax revenue.

According to Ridgeway, the property will generate approximately $3 million in tax revenue annually once the facility is open for a few years…

“This project is designed to bring new dollars into Wyoming, drawing visitors from neighboring states, especially Colorado, strengthening our economy and diversifying our tax base,” Ridgeway said.
