State of Play’s TL;DR
- Voters in Indiana’s Allen, DeKalb, and Steuben counties will decide whether to allow a possible casino project.
- Indiana lawmakers require the winning casino license-holder to invest at least $500 million in the casino and related amenities within five years.
Voters in three northeastern Indiana counties will decide a casino question this Election Day, with a minimum $500 million investment requirement attached to the potential development, according to the Indiana Capital Chronicle.
Allen, DeKalb, and Steuben counties each face a vote on whether to allow the possible casino project. The local casino questions are part of an Indiana election ballot that also includes statewide offices, legislative races, and two proposed constitutional amendments.
Approval would open developer applications
The investment requirement covers both the casino and related amenities.
Lawmakers set a five-year window for the winning license-holder to meet that spending obligation.
County approval would allow prospective casino developers to submit applications to the Indiana Gaming Commission. If a county approves a casino, developers may submit those applications by Dec. 1.
