ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) - An investment company says it plans to build a casino and expo center in downtown St. Joseph.
The St. Joseph News-Press reports that Missouri-based Inner Circle Investments LLC hopes to build the casino in the parking lot just north of the Radisson Hotel, and then move the St. Jo Frontier Casino to that location.
The city has contacted Affinity Games, the company that owns Frontier, several times about possibly moving downtown.
Planning and community development director Clint Thompson says Affinity Gaming was reluctant to move without some kind of incentive. Thompson says Inner Circle provides more incentive for Affinity than the city would.
The St. Joseph City Council will vote on a memorandum of understanding with Inner Circle that shows support for the project this month.
