HUDSON, Wis. — An eastern Minnesota developer has big plans for a shuttered dog racing track in western Wisconsin.

The St. Croix Meadows Greyhound Racing Park in Hudson closed in 2001. The first phase of plans for the 130-acre site includes a baseball field and stadium as well as a brewery, hotel, restaurant, office and events center.

The project’s later phases would include the construction of condominiums, an indoor sports complex, stores and more offices. Plans call for the buildings to complement the walking paths and ponds of the development and are to be constructed with materials such as natural stones and bricks.

Mayor Rich O’Connor said the plans from Woodbury-based Hudson Gateway LLC could cost $175 million to $225 million. The project also could create as many as 1,000 jobs.

“This is going to be big, and they’re going to employ a lot of people,” O’Connor said.

Documents from the Hudson City Council show the project would be developed in three phases through the year 2021.

The Hudson track opened in 1991 after a referendum in Wisconsin allowed a state-run lottery and pari-mutuel betting.

It cost $40 million to build. The newspaper then described it as having an “ultramodern” clubhouse “with neon decorations, a modern art sculpture at its entrance, subdued colors and carpeting inside, individual television monitors at the seats, a lounge and a restaurant offering ‘fine dining.’”

In its first year, the track attracted 479,000 visitors who wagered about $40 million.

That same year, a federal judge ruled that Wisconsin must allow Indian tribes to open casinos since it had a lottery and legalized betting at greyhound racetracks.

The year prior to the Hudson track’s closing, 99,000 people attended, wagering about $15.8 million. About 200 people lost jobs when the track closed.
