Northville Downs submits plans for new track

Northville, MI – According to Hometown Life in Detroit, MI, Northville Downs has submitted plans for a new harness racing facility in nearby Plymouth Township, MI.

According to the story by Laura Colvin, “Representatives from Northville Downs this week submitted a proposal to build a new operation in northwest Plymouth Township, just a few miles from the current location at Seven Mile and Sheldon Road in Northville.

“The current Northville Downs site was sold in 2018 to Hunter Pasteur Homes. The company is planning to develop the land with 450 new residences, commercial space and parks, but for now, Northville Downs is continuing operations, with live racing scheduled for April through September of 2023.

“The new project, dubbed Northville Downs at Plymouth Township, is proposed on part of a 128-acre parcel near the southwest corner of Five Mile and Ridge roads. The area is within Michigan International Technology Corridor (MITC).

“The project could come before the Plymouth Township Planning Commission as soon as February, but an agenda has not yet been set. If the project is approved by the planning commission, it will then go before the Plymouth Township Board of Trustees for consideration.”
