In effort to reopen, dog track begins hiring

BELMONT, N.H. -- The Lakes Region Greyhound Park has a new owner, who has begun hiring back employees so the park can get back in business.

Mississippi gambling mogul Marlin Torguson has completed his acquisition of the track, and hopes to reopen in January. Torguson bought the track for $4.1 million and now is preparing an application for a state gaming license.

The track closed last spring after two former managers were indicted on charges of illegal gambling and money laundering in New York.
