An $86 million hotel and conference center adjacent to Live Casino Pittsburgh at Westmoreland Mall could infuse more than $720 million into the community in just 10 years.
That was the conclusion of a six-month study commissioned by the Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce.
Local leaders are hopeful the study will entice investors to move forward with the project, which they say could transform tourism in the county.
TribLive this week obtained copies of feasibility and economic impact studies that recommended construction of a 200-room luxury hotel with space for meetings and banquets. The hotel could be complemented by a 50,000-square-foot event center that would host conferences and conventions.
