Bally’s Corporation last week was selected by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to receive the city’s only casino license, but the deal still has a ways to go before becoming official.
at the UIC Isadore and Sadie Dorin Forum at 725 W Roosevelt Rd. from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. According to the Eventbrite page,"representatives from the city and Bally’s Corporation will be there to share additional information, respond to questions, and hear from community members."A press release from Mayor Lightfoot's office did not specify dates. The permanent location is expected to take several years to redevelop.
Several officials, including Ald. Brian Hopkins, say that the Bally’s project has been the frontrunner all along, and they are expressing concerns about the process that led to the decision. Hopkins’ ward is located just to the north of the site, which is situated along the Chicago River on a plot of land formerly used as a publishing plant for the Chicago Tribune.“It will be a world class entertainment destination that provides jobs, boost tourism numbers and brings a host of incredible amenities into the 27th ward. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the city of Chicago and it will be a premier destination for generations to come.
“I think it’s a little odd of a location, because there’s not much public transit around here,” one resident said.
