An economic impact study released Thursday shows a proposed New Haven casino would generate more than $80 million in annual taxes and spark creation of more than 2,400 new jobs.
The estimated breakdown would be $53.5 million in state taxes, $18.3 million in city taxes and $11.1 million in taxes for other local stakeholders, including Allen County and East Allen County Schools.
The project could create 2,760 construction and construction-related jobs in the first of two phases, according to a study commissioned by the business that wants to relocate a casino operation from southeastern Indiana. The initial phase in New Haven would generate an estimated 2,426 new jobs, including more than 1,200 positions at the casino and entertainment resort.
