In a news release, Village President Sheila Chalmers-Currin stated the proposed site is the “absolute best location in the southern Cook County” for a casino, stressing the convenience of drivers due to the close proximity of I-57 and I-80.

The casino would include an historical exhibit chronicling the multi-cultural history of the area, which is home to several Underground Railroad sites.

The Choctaw Nation, the third largest Indian Nation in the United States, operates eight casinos and hotels in Oklahoma.

A separate company previously proposed a $275 million luxury hotel and casino in south suburban Homewood and East Hazel Crest. The gaming facility would be operated by Wind Creek Hospitality, and directly off of I-80 near Halsted Street and 175th Street.

The Homewood Village Board approved plans for the casino at its Oct. 7 meeting.

A small percentage of the casino's estimated gain of $155 million dollars a year would go to not only Homewood and East Hazel Crest, but 41 other south suburban municipalities.
