D.W. Wilburn is serving as general contractor on the renovation and expansion of The Red Mile thoroughbred race track in Lexington, Kentucky.

     The project involves a major renovation of the existing 35,000-SF facilities, which has not been done in more than a decade.

     The project also includes a 15,000-SF addition to house a new “Entertainment Center” with 1,000 terminals for instant wagering that will offer an all-new betting and wagering experience.

     Project challenges include an addition and renovation project at an existing facility and a short 11-month construction window beginning during the downturn of the building cycle.
