Motorsports fans in Northeast Florida could soon have a major new destination within driving distance of Flagler County.

A proposed 440-acre motorsports complex in Palatka is moving forward after receiving the government approvals needed to advance the project. Putnam County natives Scott Lagasse Sr. and Scott Lagasse Jr. are behind the development, which is expected to be built in phases at a projected cost of approximately $200 million over 10 years.
