AMENDMENT INCLUDING WAYNE COUNTY IN CASINO LEGISLATION PASSES
(Indianapolis, IN)--A delegation of Wayne County leaders was back at the Indiana Statehouse this week to advocate for Wayne County’s inclusion in legislation that would allow for the relocation of an existing casino. That delegation included Richmond Mayor Ron Oler, RCS Superintendent Dr. Curtis Wright, and EDC President Valerie Shaffer. An amendment to the legislation ultimately passed, marking a significant milestone for the county and the city of Richmond. Melissa Vance from the Chamber of Commerce spoke. She said that the community is prepared to continue to advocate fiercely for a local casino. A state-commissioned study has identified Wayne County as the third-highest revenue potential location for a relocated casino. The bill now moves to the full Indiana House for consideration.
