Jeff Jacobs says he’s at the halfway mark of his extensive redevelopment plan for West Fourth Street.
Jacobs, chief executive officer of Jacobs Entertainment, April 17 announced an additional $128 million of development for J Resort and the land surrounding it. Redevelopment work includes creating a new grand front entrance to the hotel-casino, adding a 400-seat banquet hall, and creation of an outdoor festival grounds that will host its inaugural concert May 10-11.
Additional new and redevelopment projects also include transforming the shuttered Bonanza Inn hotel at 214 W. Fourth St. into a 57-unit affordable workplace housing complex that will be known as The Breeze, and creation of Glow Gardens, a 300-seat special events facility that will accommodate several existing structures on West Fourth Street.
