The Homewood Village Board voted 5-1, approving an endorsement resolution for the future development of a south suburban casino at the regular meeting held on Sept. 28. Trustee Karen Washington voted no.
The agreement is between Homewood and the village of East Hazel Crest. The board endorsed Daly Group LLC for the development of a south suburban casino, and if awarded a license, with applicants Wind Creek for the proposed casino gaming facility.
In December 2012, Homewood and East Hazel Crest entered into an “Intergovernmental Agreement to Jointly Develop Property within Villages of East Hazel Crest and Homewood” for development of a casino gaming and entertainment facility on a site within the villages.
