Track work begins in Columbus

Beyond these mounds of dirt and large holes sits the future site of the harness track and card room, located in the City of Columbus. On Wednesday, Dec. 13, Westwood, a planning, engineering and surveying company, was finishing up the final stages of the archaeological data recovery. The crew found hundreds, if not thousands of artifacts, with the majority of them being "flakes" from ceramics or tools. Steven Blondo, a Cultural Resource Specialist for Westwood said the site work has been a long process, but "It's exactly where we want to be at the end of a project like this."
