Greenville businessman and casino developer Wallace Cheves says Santee is the perfect spot for a tourist attraction, such as his planned $1 billion casino.
“There have been a lot of promises over the decades to try to fix the Corridor of Shame, and we think it is going to take something like this to actually do something about it,” Cheves said.
“I have looked at this area for a long time,” he said. “It fascinated me from a story I read years ago that Disney considered coming to Santee because it was the halfway point in between New York and Florida.”
