Indiana Gaming Commission releases study on possible casino relocation areas
Results identify Indianapolis and the state’s northeast region as areas for possible casino relocation.
US.- Indiana Gaming Commission has released casino land study results identifying Indianapolis and the state’s northeast region as two preferred areas for possible casino relocation. The results were submitted to the State Budget Committee last week.
The study was conducted by Spectrum Gaming Group. It highlighted Indianapolis and northeast Indiana for their projected annual gaming revenue (AGR) potentiak. In Indianapolis, it mentioned the area near the Indiana Statehouse, chosen for its proximity to the convention centre and professional sports venues. The northeast Indiana site was placed near Auburn, where SR-8 meets I-69, providing access from Fort Wayne, the Indiana Toll Road and Michigan markets.
State Sen. Andy Zay said: “It’s great to see this study recognize the strong economic potential of northeast Indiana. Our region continues to show signs of growth and investment opportunities, and I look forward to continuing my work and reviewing this study to see what possibilities are available to our state and region.”
Zay’s office added: “This study builds on Zay’s earlier efforts with Senate Bill 293, which would have allowed the relocation of Rising Sun Casino’s licence to northeast Indiana. Zay believes the study is a good first step in understanding how a potential casino relocation could strengthen Indiana’s economy while supporting development in areas where there is much room to grow.”
