OXFORD – Three parcels near Oxford Plains Speedway on Route 26 are being considered for the proposed $184-million Oxford Highlands Spa and Casino.

The Olympia Group said Friday it had secured options on several parcels on Route 26 between Number Six Road and Industrial Drive to the north.

Oxford Plains Speedway is between those roads but is not one of the sites under consideration, casino spokeswoman Pat LaMarche said Friday at a news conference. She did not say which three parcels in the area were being considered, but she noted that they were between 40 and 60 acres. She said the group needs at least 25 acres.

Oxford Realtor Tom Kennison said recently that he had shown three or four potential sites to the casino people but had signed an agreement not to identify the sites.

Town Manager Michael Chammings said voters recently approved rezoning that area of Route 26 into mixed use. Only a few pieces of land there meet the criteria for at least 25 acres, according to assessing records.

The owners of those parcels say they have met members of the casino group, but that’s as far as they have gone.

“I haven’t heard a word,” said Doug Ryan of Stoneham, who with two partners owns two abutting parcels on the west side of Route 26. One piece is 14.67 acres and another is 31.49 acres. They’re asking $750,000 for each, he said.

Another potential site is believed to be the former Oxford business park on the east side of Route 26, owned by speedway proprietor Bill Ryan of Falmouth, who is no relation to Doug.

Bill Ryan has a parcel for sale between the speedway and Industrial Park Road that is divided into three lots assessed at $69,900, $103,100 and $52,400, according to Oxford Code Enforcement Officer Rodney Smith.

Bill Ryan said he had met the casino people. “They’re a great group, but I have no further comment,” he said Friday.

Chammings said the casino group would do a traffic study. Based on previous traffic in that area of Route 26, including an estimated 150,000 people at a Grateful Dead concert at the speedway in July 1989, it would not be overwhelming, he said.

“There are 82,000 cars a week on the road right now,” he said.

The proposed $184-million resort casino would be built in two phases over five years and would include a hotel, casino, spa and restaurants.
