The Rockford Casino: A Hard Rock Opening Act celebrated opening its doors, at 610 N Bell School Road, one year ago today.
In the last 12 months, Hard Rock International says over 458,000 people have visited the casino, and generated $11 million in tax revenue for the city of Rockford. Three million came from the Rockford area, officials said.
The Rockford Casino employs 275 workers, with that number expected to grow to 1,000 once the permanent casino, currently under construction, opens…
The Rockford City Council voted in favor of the plan from Hard Rock International in October 2019, after considering proposals from the downtown Rock River West Casino Group and Forest City Casino.
