A company plans to bring harness racing back to southern Maine this year, months after Scarborough Downs, southern Maine’s premiere racetrack and the largest in Maine, shut down for good in November.
First Track Investments LLC plans to schedule 56 days of racing at the Cumberland Fairgrounds starting in May.
The Cumberland Town Council voted 7-0 Monday night to approve a mass gathering permit for the company. But councilors said company owner Michael Cianchette could have held races without the permit because attendance will not exceed the town’s 500-person limit on mass gatherings.
