“Over the past year, we have been working on developing a master plan for this site. This environmental study is the next step in determining what is possible for our downtown location,” Chairman Jeff L. Grubbe said in a statement quoted by the local media.
The master plan also includes a parking garage with up to 850 spaces directly north of the casino.
