Multiply That Disappointment by 218. By DAVID STREITFELD and NELLIE BOWLES JAN. 19, 2018

“Tom Hall, town manager of Scarborough, Me., had just returned from a meeting about the clam harvest when he heard the bad news from a reporter. He took it philosophically. The town’s proposal to convert a 500-acre harness racing track in the center of Scarborough was, he knew, “the longest of long shots.”
