Thousands of Glendale jobs (Click here) hang in the balance as officials debate the construction of a new casino.
There has been much debate surrounding potential plans for a new casino run by the Tohono O'odham Nation in the City of Glendale. If built, the casino is expected to create 6,000 temporary construction jobs and 3,000 permanent jobs and attract 1.2 million visitors each year.
However, some city and state officials have been working to block development of the casino, despite the economic impact it would have. They state the casino's location would be too close to a local high school and have a negative impact on other businesses in the area.
In fact, the city and a group of state lawmakers are suing the U.S. Department of the Interior in an effort to stop plans for the casino, according to the Phoenix Business Journal. The federal government previously approved the tribe's request to build the casino.
Even so, West Valley Resort recently released an updated plan for the casino, which would take up about 220,000 square feet on 54 acres at Northern and 95th avenues. The property would initially include 54,750 square feet of gaming space, sports bar, food court, 400-seat buffet, 24-hour 150-seat cafe, and events center. A hotel would be added later on.
"Public support for our project has been overwhelming and we are determined to move forward with this project, despite opponents' efforts to delay," O'odham Chairman Ned Norris Jr., said. "These renderings are an example of the work that is being done right now so that we can be ready to start construction as soon as possible."
