Look out wetlands, here it comes

After months of waiting for board members to be appointed and legislative wrangling, the Illinois Gaming Board will consider today whether to allow the Casino Rock Island to move off the Mississippi River.

The gaming board will meet today in Chicago, with permission to allow the Casino's move to a site near Interstate 280 and Illinois 92 on the agenda. Final approval of the $90 million casino and hotel project could come at the next board meeting, scheduled for Oct. 13.
