Foxwoods Plans $99 Million Expansion2 April 2003CONNECTICUT – As reported by the Associated Press: "Foxwoods Resort Casino said yesterday that it will build a $99 million casino expansion and would seek Connecticut's approval for a Route 2 bypass to ease traffic congestion. "The projects were both voted on by members of the casino's owner, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. "…The expansion would add about 850 slot machines, a 200-seat restaurant, 200 new smoke-free bingo seats, shops and a 2,100-space parking garage to Foxwoods, which already is the largest casino in the United States. "It would be the first major addition at the casino near Ledyard since 2000, when Foxwoods completed work on a hotel, convention center and casino project called the Grand Pequot Tower. "…Construction is scheduled to be completed by the summer, in time for the seasonal rush, DeSalvio said." |
