Hialeah foreclosures may drop if the reopening of the Hialeah Park and other planned developments become successful and if they create jobs for residents in the area. Condo foreclosures still continue in the area because of a lot of distressed condo conversions.

Hialeah foreclosures may drop if the reopening of the Hialeah Park Race Track and if the planned developments adjacent to and in conjunction with the park create jobs for a lot of Hialeah residents and people moving to the city.

According to John Brunetti, owner of Hialeah Park, within weeks of his application for a permit to hold quarter horse racing, 4,800 people came to the park and submitted applications for jobs. The record number of job applications spurred Hialeah and Miami-Dade officials to work with Brunetti in lobbying for a state legislation enabling Hialeah to reopen the race track for horse racing.

Hialeah City Mayor Julio Robaina, recognizing the positive impact of the rebirth of the race track on job creation and economic rejuvenation in his city, worked with Florida Senators Jeff Atwater, Alex Diaz de la Portilla, Rudy Garcia, Al Lawson and other lawmakers to enable the race track to operate other games in addition to horse quarter racing.
