OLG Slots Funding – 13th Sreet

HANOVER – The Town of Hanover is pleased to announce that funds received from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) for hosting OLG Slots at Hanover Raceway will substantially fund reconstruction of 13th Street from 13th Avenue to 16th Avenue.

$357,200 of hosting funds from OLG has been earmarked for this priority capital project. The total cost of the project is approximately $550,000.

“The priority reconstruction of 13th Avenue will not only replace necessary storm, sanitary and water services, but will also greatly improve the accessibility and integrity of the road and sidewalks fronting Hanover Heights Community School. We are pleased to see this much needed reconstruction underway, with completion in time for the return to school in September,” said Mayor Sue Paterson.

“OLG is especially proud of the relationship we have built in Hanover,” said Jake Pastore, OLG’s Director of Municipal and Community Relations. “Since the opening of OLG Slots at Hanover Raceway in 2001, OLG has provided more than $13 million in hosting funds. From healthcare, to education, to community infrastructure, OLG proceeds are hard at work in Hanover and all across our province. We also appreciate the contribution of our slot employees in making life in the community that much richer.”

The Town’s partnership with the OLG and Slots at Hanover Raceway continues to generate the completion of vital capital projects, offer an entertainment experience, create jobs and stimulate the regional economy.
