I'm not at all surprised. Once the County Board and City Council started doing the math on lost income & tax revenue and had a few chats with legal council... all the blustering about "we have more information now and want to make sure everyone's issues are addressed" was just them trying to save face.I kinda figured this would happen eventually, I just didn't think they'd reconsider so quickly. Go Bruton.
Having seen Bruton in action in Sonoma, Vegas, and Bristol I have no doubt that he would have moved Lowes into new digs someplace else... especially consider he was already planning on spending a butt load of money to renovate the facility beyond what he has planned to spend on the dragstrip.Registered member said:I don't believe for a second that Bruton Smith would move LMS over a Dragstrip!
I wonder if it was the $169 million in tourism or the $1.7 million in property tax that caused the backpedaling.The track generated $169 million in tourism spending for Cabarrus last year, nearly 70 percent of the tourism revenue that came into the county, according to the Cabarrus chamber. And speedway property taxes are worth about $1.02.million to the county this year and an additional $722,247 to Concord.
