This from the Associated Press-
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The city of St. Louis apparently will have only one choice in a bid to replace the closed President Casino.
The
St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that city officials who are deciding
which casino project to endorse heard from only one group at a meeting
on Monday.
Casino Celebration LLC, a group led by St.
Louis developers Jim and Bill Koman, pitched a $115 million,
120,000-square-foot complex. It said it would build the casino at the
foot of the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. In the second phase, the group
would build a $26 million hotel.
The Koman family has owned and operated the Casino Queen in East St. Louis since 1993.
The city hopes to endorse a project by Sept. 1, when applications to the Missouri Gaming Commission are due.
