“Foxwoods has something big planned, too ...,” Rawlings is quoted as saying in a speedway publication.
While Foxwoods spokespeople declined Wednesday to discuss Sunday’s announcement in advance, Felix Rappaport, the Foxwoods president and chief executive officer, revealed months ago that the casino was planning to introduce an indoor go-kart track.
“... We thought it only fitting to have our friend Richard Rawlings, who knows a thing or two about cars and racing, be on hand to help us introduce the latest adrenaline-pumping experience coming to Foxwoods,” Rappaport says in the publication.
Rawlings, an entrepreneur as well as a reality star, had been expected to open Richard Rawlings’ Garage Bar & Grill at Foxwoods in a partnership with a third party. After construction began, the project was stopped earlier this year.
Foxwoods is rolling out new attractions aimed at diversifying its nongaming amenities. It introduced two thrill rides — Sky Drop and Sky Launch — earlier this month and will soon unwrap a zip line linking The Fox Tower to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center. Dodd Memorial Stadium.
The project, which had a budget of $44,278, involved replacing 36 outdated streetlights with high-efficiency LED lights, qualifying the project for a rebate of $15,497 from NPU. The project was paid for by the city, which received the rebate from NPU.
In addition to the higher-quality lighting, Connecticut Tigers will save more than $11,000 on the annual energy bill for use of the lights. The city Stadium Authority pays the electric bill initially, and then is reimbursed by the team, City Comptroller Josh Pothier said.
The new equipment will decrease the stadium’s electric use by more than 70,000 kilowatt hours each year, NPU spokesman Chris Riley said.
“NPU was happy to work with the Tigers and the Stadium Authority on a project that will have both immediate and long-term benefits,” said Fawn Walker, who manages NPU commercial accounts, in a news release announcing the rebate. “The investment in LED lights in the parking lot will improve visibility while using less electricity.”
NPU provides rebates to business customers for replacing traditional incandescent lighting with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and high-efficiency T8 linear fluorescent tubes. Eligible projects receive rebates of 35 percent from NPU for the purchase of high-efficiency lamps and ballasts. NPU also offers a no-interest loan program for lighting upgrades with local lenders.
