Decatur is in line to be the site of a horse racing track with a casino under legislation in the works in the state Capitol.
The legislation, which has yet to be filed, would specifically authorize an organization license for harness racing in Macon County.
Though the license would technically be open to any group that applies for it, the legislation is aimed at opening the door for Virginia-based Revolutionary Racing to develop a more than 200-acre parcel of vacant land at the northwest corner of U.S. 36 and Wyckles Road into a harness race track.
