LOCAL LEADERS TRAVEL TO INDIANA STATEHOUSE TO DISCUSS CASINO
(Indianapolis, IN)--Richmond and Wayne County leaders were at the Indiana Statehouse earlier this week to continue conversations about the possibility of a gaming licence and, ultimately, a casino for Wayne County. Those leaders included Richmond Mayor Ron Oler and Melissa Vance, who is the President and CEO of the Wayne County Area Chamber of Commerce. The discussions focused on how a casino could support economic development, strengthen local revenue, and create new pathways for grow. Potential tax revenue is estimated at between $12 and $15 million per year. The revenue would be split between the county and the community where the casino would be and would typically be used for education and economic development.
