A house bill introduced Monday proposes allowing a casino in Allen County.
The bill, introduced by Craig Snow (R-Warsaw), would require the Indiana Gaming Commission to “accept applications and proposals to award an owner’s license to operate a casino in Allen County if certain conditions are met.”
It proposes a minimum $50 million license fee, which would be deposited in the state general fund.
The proposal follows Greater Fort Wayne’s launch of an advertising campaign to bring a casino to the city, as well as a website called “Fort Wayne First” that claims a casino would bring good-paying jobs, partnerships with small businesses, increased tax revenue, and attract tourism.
