PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFORT LAUNCHED FOR POTENTIAL RICHMOND CASINO

(Richmond, IN)--The Wayne County Area Chamber of Commerce has launched a public education effort designed to provide factual information about Richmond’s potential pursuit of an Indiana casino license.  That campaign is called “Richmond is on a Roll.”  A logo was released Wednesday that features a rolling die.  Chamber administrators say the campaign is focused on education and not outcomes.  For a local casino to be pursued, the Indiana General Assembly must pass legislation authorizing the Gaming Commission to accept applications for casino licenses in the county.  Information related to Richmond is on a Roll will be shared through a dedicated website and a public Facebook page.
