Sounds like someone is not a fan of motorsport or introducing new industry into impoverished areas.

This is how such projects usually turn out... Someone comes up with a grand plan, promises all sorts of benefits (usually jobs), gets some kind of government/council funding or, even worse, guarantee, siphons off a decent amount of funding to their own companies, then it goes belly up owing creditors a small fortune.

And who's left carrying the can? Yes, the taxpayers and/or ratepayers.

I'll leave it to you to decide if this fits the pattern
