As New Kent natives for generations dating back to the 1700's, my family and I are grateful for the return of Colonial Downs to New Kent! It will ba a key contributor to our communitiy's social and econimic status. The track will revive the vibrancy, unity, and economic strength that New Kent once had. So many people, both local and from afar will benefit because of the positive ripple effect it will have on local and regional business's, not to mention the fun and special memories families will once again make at all of the exciting races and events throughout the year.
