City Leaders Push For Casino At Broadway Commons
With millions of casino dollars going to local governments in Indiana, city officials are trying to get a piece of the game for downtown.It's a roll of the dice because Cincinnati would need valid signatures in every one of Ohio's 88 counties just to get the issue put on the November ballot.
A majority of council members stood at Broadway Commons Monday morning in a push to get a casino for an area that now serves primarily as a parking zone."Oh, it's an unbelievable opportunity. Are you kidding me? I have been crazy all weekend long, just so excited about this," Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz said.A casino could mean $22 million annually for Cincinnati and $18 million for the county.
But city leaders need a successful petition campaign as a starting point, because Cincinnati was left out of the mix for a statewide gambling initiative in the fall.
