Down
on the Boardwalk
As reported by the Sun Herald:
"Golden Nugget developers showed city officials
plans Tuesday for a casino resort that would
be the anchor for a $400 million waterfront
attraction called Biloxi Boardwalk.
"It
would employ about 3,000 people, 1,800 of them
in the casino and accompanying hotel.
"Now,
it's up to the Isle of Capri to put forth a
better plan if it wants to exercise first option
rights for the city-owned property on Point
Cadet.
"...The
Isle, which is located on the south side of
the highway, negotiated a right of first refusal
when it signed its lease with the city years
ago.
"Executives
with the Isle gave no specifics about any expansion
plans when they appeared before the Biloxi City
Council on Tuesday. The information they presented
was limited to reopening plans...."
