State Could Benefit Financially From World Equestrian Games
KENTUCKY...
A new study says Kentucky's economic benefit from the World Equestrian Games later this year is likely to be higher than previously expected. Game organizers say the study shows Kentucky will realize a $167 million economic boost from the games, which are being held for the first time in the United States at Lexington's Kentucky Horse Park. Previous projections were at the $150 million level. The games are scheduled for Sept. 25 to Oct. 10. As many as 60 countries will compete in eight equestrian sports for world champion titles.
