The details of a casino resort proposed in Petersburg remain a mystery, but the project’s Baltimore-based developer plans to lift the curtain at a community meeting next week.
The Cordish Companies will make a public presentation of its plans at the Petersburg Public Library on Tuesday, one week after the City Council adopted a proposal to “explore the partnership” with the company to develop a casino resort at an undisclosed location in Petersburg. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
After emerging from a closed meeting, the council also approved a motion by Councilman W. Howard Myers to approve a contract, retroactive to July 1, with the Speller Consulting Group LLC, “for the evaluation, review and consultation as it relates to the selection of a casino destination economic development project.”
