An application for a Linn County casino gaming license was formally filed Aug. 2 with the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (IRGC), officials said.

The application was filed jointly by Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, which would operate the proposed Cedar Crossing Casino in Cedar Rapids, and the nonprofit Linn County Gaming Association, which would distribute 8% of casino revenues to local nonprofit organizations.

“We appreciate this opportunity with the IRGC, which brings us a step closer to making Cedar Crossing Casino and Entertainment Center a reality,” Kim Pang, vice president of development for Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, said in a statement…

The application will be formally presented at the IRGC’s meeting Oct. 3 at the Isle of Capri Hotel and Casino in Bettendorf.
