Ontario
Casino Plans Considered
As reported by the Campbellford
Community Press: "Brenda Otto, the Community
Development Officer for Trent Hills, outlined
a project this week for boosting the economy
in Campbellford.
"According
to Otto, Mayor Hector Macmillan brought the
idea to the Economic Development Committee about
a year ago and she is now initiating a feasibility
study on the idea. The mayor wants to see whether
a riverboat casino and hotel complex would benefit
the town.
"Trent
Hills has been positioning itself as a lifestyle
and tourism destination and the municipality
is trying to develop opportunities for business
attraction, retention and growth in that area.
"Otto's
new study will attempt to identify the competitive
advantages for such an operation in Campbellford.
She is also studying the viability of locating
the complex on municipal waterfront land at
the new Campbellford Business Park, currently
under development.
"…The
study is expected to be completed by the end
of January.
