ZDA – Churchill Downs odpira ponudbo za razvoj Queen of Terre Haute Casino Resort
By Phil - 27. september 2021
Churchill Downs has submitted a proposal to develop the Queen of Terre Haute Casino Resort, a destination gaming facility in Vigo County, Indiana. CDI has also filed an application to the Indiana Gaming Commission seeking Indiana’s open casino license for Vigo County.
“Churchill Downs has a 147-year track record of offering extraordinary entertainment experiences and has significant expertise developing premier casino and gaming properties throughout the United States,” said Bill Carstanjen, Chief Executive Officer of CDI. “We are proud to offer our vision for this world-class casino, a true destination resort designed to draw visitors and economic activity from across the Midwest to Terre Haute.”
Kraljica Terre Haute bo vsebovala do 1,000 igralnih avtomatov, 50 namiznih iger, luksuzni hotel s 125 sobami, najsodobnejšo športno stavnico TwinSpires ter več ponudb hrane in pijače. Kraljica Terre Haute bo od svojega imena (ki ga je navdihnilo vzdevek Terre Haute kot »Kraljično mesto doline Wabash«) do konceptov in oblikovnih značilnosti celotnega objekta odražala edinstveno dediščino okrožja Vigo in okoliške regije.
“We appreciate the local encouragement we’ve received as we’ve evaluated this opportunity,” said Carstanjen. “In the days ahead, we look forward to making our case to the Indiana Gaming Commission as to why our proposal to build the Queen of Terre Haute is in the best interest of the residents and businesses of Terre Haute, Vigo County and the State of Indiana.”
An economic impact study conducted by economists at Purdue University estimates that the Queen of Terre Haute will generate $190 million in annual regional economic impact, including 1,000 construction jobs and 500 permanent jobs. According to the study, the project is expected to deliver a 2% annual increase in the West Central Indiana gross regional product.
