CRDG President Jonathan Swain expressed gratitude for the Commission\u2019s support, stating, <em>\u201cWe are so thankful to the Commission for giving us a fair shot at sharing our vision and for making Cedar Crossing a reality.\u201d<\/em> This marks a significant milestone in the development journey for the area.<\/p>\n<p>Construction will commence with a ceremony attended by local people, business leaders, union representatives, and officials. The casino will serve both locals and visitors from Iowa by providing 700 slot machines and 22 table games. A 1,500-seat entertainment center will also hold a variety of activities and shows.<\/p>\n<p>Cedar Crossing is expected to bring substantial economic benefits, including an estimated $80.2 million in new taxable revenue for Iowa. The project has already surpassed expectations from a 2021 market study, which projected a $51 million increase in taxable revenue.
