Trump bails out of casino plan for French Lick
| 03 March 2005 |
As reported by: IndyStar.com
But the financially troubled company couldn't deliver.
On Wednesday, six months after awarding Indiana's 11th casino to Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, state gambling regulators announced they must find another company to build the French Lick casino. Trump did not meet a state-imposed deadline.
"I'm going to do everything I can to make sure your dream comes true," Ernest Yelton, the new executive director of the Indiana Gaming Commission, told residents at a meeting in French Lick on Wednesday.
And Yelton assured the audience -- many wearing orange shirts promoting the casino -- that they would get one.
"There has never been any hint that this boat will move from Orange County," he said.
Residents of Orange County, an area plagued by high unemployment but blessed with two historic hotels, are counting on a casino to bring jobs and money to their towns of French Lick and West Baden Springs.
