MAYOR BOB SCOTT SAYS THE CITY IS READY TO WORK WITH SIOUX CITY ENTERTAINMENT AND MRHD ON A NEW DOWNTOWN CASINO. SCOTT SAYS CREATING A DOWNTOWN DESTINATION HAS BEEN A GOAL OF THE CITY:
SCOTT SAYS THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING WITH BOTH MRHD AND ALSO WITH WINNEBAGO BASED HO CHUNK, WHICH HAS BEEN DEVELOPING THEIR OWN CASINO PROPOSAL:
SCOTT SAYS THE CITY HAS NOT DIRECTLY HEARD FROM PENN NATIONAL GAMING, WHICH OPERATES THE ARGOSY RIVERBOAT CASINO, THROUGH THIS PROCESS. HE SAYS THAT'S BEEN SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTING.
PENN GAMING HAS PREVIOUSLY FILED LEGAL ACTION AGAINST MRHD AND THE IOWA RACING AND GAMING COMMISSION, AND HAS THREATENED TO SUE ANY COMPANY THAT TRIES TO REPLACE THEM AS THE CASINO OPERATOR IN WOODBURY COUNTY.
