quote:

Company representatives pitched the operation Thursday as a "community center" that would include not only a casino, but also a hotel, conference and event center, several restaurants and a potential bass fishing tournament dock.

If legislation passes this year to allow riverboat casinos to sit on land, the company would build its casino on the ground 1,000 feet from the narrow river. If the legislation fails, the company would float the casino on a moat filled with water from the Tangipahoa River to meet state law requirements, company officials said.

The proposed facility would include a 27,000-square-foot gaming floor with about 800 slot machines and 25 card tables, said Brent Stevens, manager of Peninsula Pacific. Initially, there would be one hotel with 200 rooms, but Stevens said he is recruiting other Louisiana developers to build two more hotels on site.

It is my understanding that the voters would still have to approve it. We approved a casino in the mid 90’s that could still be opened. But only if it were located in Manchac. I do not support this current casino. Only because of the location. If it is put in the location which is actually Ponchatoula not Robert. It would only add to the flooding south of I-12.
