Proposal for new casino on the Coast

Developers are proposing a new casino in Lake Shore, as an existing nearby casino plans an expansion.

Cure Land Co. is seeking Mississippi Gaming Commission approval for a casino site in Clermont Harbor.

The legal ad proposes a casino with 300 hotel rooms and 1,100 slot machines. Site approval is the first step in getting permission to build a casino in Mississippi. The Gaming Commission would later have to grant a license.

Silver Slipper General Manager John Ferrucci also announced plans for a second hotel tower and convention center to accommodate expanding business.
