Las Vegas-based Full House Resorts, one of the competitors for the Vigo County casino license, on Thursday said it has signed an agreement with a general contractor for its proposed $250 million casino and hotel property should Full House be selected by the Indiana Gaming Commission.

That contractor would be Indianapolis-based F.A. Wilhelm Construction Co., Inc., said Alex Stolyar, senior vice president and chief development officer for Full House Resorts, which has applied for the casino license as FHR-Atlas LLC.

“We will use local contractors. … It is a big project and want to make sure it is built right,” he told a group of about 55 people at Idle Creek Golf Course Banquet Center, which included casino representatives and real estate representatives.
