Hunts Point produce market - 1962

Officials man the shovels with a vengeance at ground-breaking ceremony for Hunts Point produce market.

Bensalem casino groundbreaking

PhiladelphiaPark Casino in Bensalem will hold a groundbreaking Tuesday for its new $350 million casino.Gov. Rendell, who signed the state's gaming legislation into law in July 2004, and is relying on gaming revenue to back his ambitious property tax relief plan, is expected to be at the ceremony.
PhillyPark, owned by Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment Inc., is one of seven slots parlors that have opened in Pennsylvania in the past year.
Dave Jonas, president and chief operating officer of PhillyPark, said the 250,000-square foot casino will open in late fall of 2009. It will house 4,000 slot machines, an entertainment center, sleek bars and cocktail lounges, and restaurants.
Groundbreaking for the new facility is also a victory of sorts for the Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association. The horsemen's group, which represents 4,000 owners and trainers at Philadelphia Park, had previously accused Greenwood Gaming of seeking only to refurbish the existing Bensalem facility, instead of building a new casino.
