Atlanta Motor Speedway President and General Manager Ed Clark announced a proposal to build a $1-billion casino resort adjacent to the longtime racetrack in Hampton, GA.

The proposed project would include a hotel, time-share condominiums, meeting space, shops and restaurants, as well as a theme park, concert venue, movie theater and night club. Gambling is not currently legalized in Georgia.

“We want to create something that would bring people of all ages for multi-night stays,” Clark told a legislative committee in August focused on ways to grow Georgia’s economy. “It’s not all about gaming. It’s about entertainment.”

The House Ways and Means Committee Chairman, Brett Harrell, is tasked with examining the economic benefits of allowing gambling in the state.  He said earlier in the week that the meetings won’t focus on whether Georgia should expand gaming.

“The committee’s focus is not to debate issues on whether or not a specific industry ought to be welcome into the state,” the Snellville Republican said. “Our focus is to compare impacts to existing business and quality of life as we look at new industries, new revenue streams (and) new investment in the state of Georgia.”

Meetings were held throughout the week, beginning on Tuesday.

Virginia Galloway, a lobbyist for the Georgia Faith and Freedom Coalition, said it felt as though Tuesday’s meeting was a series of sales pitches and that expanded gambling in Georgia would only lead to addiction.

“Georgia is too good a place for us to expand gambling further,” she said. “If you look at the states that allow it, those are not states we want to be like.”
