A rural casino is making another bid to relocate to south Edmonton after being denied last year.
The Camrose Casino has re-applied to relocate to an empty lot at 420 Parsons Road, and Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) is currently accepting public feedback on the proposal.
Last year, the casino’s application received pushback from residents worried about how the 60,000-square foot facility would worsen local traffic congestion.
While Edmonton’s mayor raised concerns over the potential loss of local charitable revenue, the then-owner of the casino said rejecting the move would disadvantage hundreds of rural charities who receive far less income from charitable gambling.
