Gateway Casinos and Entertainment is one of the leading casino developers and operators in Canada and as such, there is a constant strive of bringing more to the field. This could easily happen via the future casino location which is yet to be built in the region of North Bay. More details were recently disclosed pointing that the casino developer has already provided detailed plans for the project.
According to the information disclosed, Gateway Casinos is planning to introduce the new gaming facility in the Pinewood Park Drive area. The developer has provided the necessary extensive planning for the future location which indicates that the projected investment in the region could reach to up to CA$24 million. Such a project is set to significantly elevate the region’s performance and appeal to players from near and far, as well as boost the local economy.
Town Prepares for CA$24-Million Project
The potential land lot dedicated for the future project amounts to some 7 acres which are enough space for a substantial venue providing a wide array of gaming and more family-friendly offerings. The parcel of land in consideration is situated in the vicinity of Highway 11, providing it with a constant flow of potential casino patrons, as well as guaranteeing easy access to the location.
In addition to that, there is also a Petro-Canada station right next to it, making it an even more appealing area. This information was provided by a source well-acquainted with the City Hall and considered proposals within it. In the meantime, Rob Mitchel, spokesperson for Gateway Casinos and Entertainment claimed that for the time being the company has not reached an official arrangement guaranteeing the purchase of land or property in the region.
This is the main reason why no further information could be publicly disclosed as of now. A mandatory step of the process is the application for a building permit. Mr. Mitchell stated that he has no knowledge of such actions, as the rumored plans remain in the unknown. At the moment the casino developer’s legal department is taking care of the project and all legalities aProposed, seeking the most suitable solution for it.
Previous Porposed Land Lot Conversations Failed
In order to keep things professional and avoid misleading information, the casino developer will be ready to reveal more details about its project only once everything is ironed out and set in stone. What is known for the time being is that there will definitely a construction in North Bay, the only variable left being the exact parcel of land most suitable for the casino venue.
It could be recalled that earlier this year there have been several locations considered. The last one scrapped was for two parcels of land in the vicinity of the North Bay Regional Health Center just off Highway 17. Following months of conversations with the Ministry of Transportation regarding the future project, September brought the news that the casino operator has shifted its focus on another more suitable parcel of land.
Too many complications led to the eventual scrapping of the plans and the search for a new potential land lot. Upcoming months are set to bring more details to the project as well as the eventual announcement of an application filed. Locals are also content with the boost a new business will provide to the employment market.
The new location is going to feature a gambling venue, dining offerings able to satisfy all casino patrons, according to the official statement of Carrie Kormos, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications. Neighboring communities have also been taken into account, as field cannibalization should be avoided at all costs.
