After five years and multiple setbacks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Paducah and McCracken County leaders on Monday broke ground on the long-awaited Paducah Sports Park at the former Bluegrass Downs site.
The project’s estimated cost is $65 million, with funding largely coming from the transient room tax. Once complete, the park is projected to generate $155 million in direct impact in its first five years.
