Six months after a casino in the south suburbs received initial approval from state gaming regulators, construction is getting underway.
A billboard is shown at the site of a south suburban casino on the border of East Hazel Crest and Homewood. Initial construction is getting underway, with the casino expected to open possibly in late summer or early fall of 2023.
Once finished, officials estimate the project will create about 800 permanent jobs. The casino could be ready for customers by late summer or early fall of next year, with a 252-room hotel to follow in 2024.
