MGM Northfield Park Will Pay an Ohio School District Over $15 Million in a Tax Settlement
MGM Northfield Park will pay the Nordonia Hills School District more than $15 million under a tax settlement announced Monday over the appraised value of the Northfield racino.
According to Summit County Fiscal Office Records, the nine lots that make up the harness racing/casino operation at the northern edge of Summit County total about 80 acres and have an appraised value of about $4.5 million.
However, the district said it challenged “the potential undervaluation of the Northfield Park Casino” and used a special procedure in the Ohio Revised Code that allows school districts and other taxing authorities to challenge property values set by county fiscal offices.
