PLANS ARE CONTINUING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GAMING CASINO AT SOUTH SIOUX CITY’S ATOKAD PARK AREA.
LANCE MORGAN, CEO OF HO-CHUNK INC, SAYS THE FACILITY WILL BE THE 3RD “WARHORSE” CASINO BUILT IN NEBRASKA ALONG WITH CASINOS IN LINCOLN AND OMAHA.
HE SAYS IT WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON GAMING IN THE METRO AREA:
WARHORSE1 OC………THIS THING GOES. :22
MORGAN SAYS PART OF THE DELAY IN MOVING FORWARD ON THE PROJECT IS THE EFFORT TO EXPAND THE EXISTING HORSE RACING TRACK AT ATOKAD PARK:
WARHORSE2 OC……….SHORT TERM DELAY. ;21
ONCE THAT IS RESOLVED, MORGAN SAYS THE PLANNED EXPANSION IN THE ATOKAD AREA WILL GET UNDERWAY:
WARHORSE3 OC………….ALL THAT’S COMING. ;11
MORGAN SAYS HO-CHUNK WILL REINVEST CASINO PROFITS BACK INTO THE SIOUXLAND AREA, LEADING TO DEVELOPMENT SIMILAR TO PROJECTS LIKE VIRGINIA SQUARE AND FLATWATER CROSSING:
WARHORSE4 OC………..BETTER WE’LL DO. :19
A FORMAL GROUNDBREAKING AND ANNOUNCEMENT IS PLANNED FOR THE ATOKAD SITE IN THE COMING WEEKS.
