Should Wayne County encourage a casino to locate here in order to generate millions of dollars for local schools and government services?
That was the question on the agenda during a Tuesday, Dec. 16, meeting facilitated by the Wayne County Area Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting, which took place at Reid Health in Richmond, was not advertised or open to the public but was attended by a wide range of elected officials and community leaders, according to people who went to the meeting and spoke with WWN afterward.
Those joining included Wayne County’s commissioners, several members of Wayne County Council, several members of Richmond Common Council, the superintendents of county school districts, and representatives from other organizations such as the Economic Development Corporation, the tourism bureau and Richmond city government.
