casino at indian river?

Chuck your argument is based on environmental and traffic concerns. the Traffic is easy, just widen the road. While I think some in OC would go to ocean downs, I think many, especially in the northern streets would go up to an IR casino especially if the roads are widened.

 

You are speaking about things that you clearly don't understand. Environmental is only 1 issue. If you knew more about the situation, you would know that economically of all areas proposed this is the one that would cost us the taxpayers of Delaware the most money. This is state property that we as taxpayers would have to foot the bill on any road improvements as well as infrastructure. Why should the taxpayers foot the bill to widen any roads, etc, when the other proposed areas for casino's are funded by private investors.

You also don't get that the little bit of traffic is only months for the Indian River site as opposed to the other sites that would have @ least double the amount of traffic year round. If the investor's are trying to sell the project as a benefit to the Delaware taxpayers, you would want the ability to expand which would in turn provide the tax base for any commercial or residential projects benefitting from patron's & work force supporting the casino.

I have an interest concerning the construction of the project. My father in law owns a commercial construction company I have worked for 15+ years & we built the slots @ Dover Downs & recently the gaming addition @ Harrington. The Indian River site however from a business/economic standpoint does not even come close to being a wise location when compared to the other sites. If the state wants to make money then go for the areas that offer room for growth & that they can add to the tax base to make up for the loss of real estate transfer taxes. The site is only 10 acres @ Indian River. That is nothing for a commercial project such as proposed. You have nothing & nowhere to expand once the project is complete. Why limit the future revenue when 3 other areas all have private funding, better locations with substantially more traffic volume & a place where local business could start & possibly flourish down the road.

 

Clinton Bunting is a Mook

I can't believe the amount of GARBAGE that comes out of his mouth! This is the WORST idea I've ever heard of.

Residents Voice Casino Concerns

Casinos do NOT benefit fishing! I cannot believe anyone would believe that! This will further hurt any remaining wetlands and drive wildlife off. Cool, I guess thats a good idea

1,200 new jobs and construction work? That's what we do? Build more things creates jobs for people?? What a load of garbage! Casinos= PEOPLE LOSING MONEY In an already poor county with a solid unemployment rate, sure! Why not?

Oh sure, they'll treat parking lot water runoff.. where else do they even do that? NOWHERE! YEAH RIGHT

Any and all of you in the Delmarva area should be very concerned about this. All this is is a money grubbing, greedy scheme and will result in loss of wetlands, estuaries and just all around value of the area Why don't they just build it inland a few miles? Not like they're doing it for the view?

And if any of you really believe this is a good idea, then you're about as big of a MOOK as Bunting.

 

It would bring much needed jobs though

 

Tell them to look at how The Revel is going in Atlantic City...

 

I am told by reliable sources (prominent sussex lawyers) that the project is in the process or has already been squashed. If I get any more information on the subject I'll be sure to let yall know.

This is all good and fine but what must be considered most is that this project will not likely be the last outrageous idea to try and establish itself on the inlet. To all those folks that see these changes as a disruption to our standard of living, I ask What changes here will improve our experiences at the inlet? Or better yet when the bridge is completed what would yall like to see in the old parking lot? New facilities, better landscaping, an improved walkway to the beach, recycling and trash receptacles? Maybe even a ranger checking fish regulations!?! All these things create jobs and an improved standard of living for the community without boasting the need and greed of a consumer economy. Plus most of the consumers aren't from around here, so **** em. They come they go and we are left with the trash. I want to see the inlet as an education for tourists and a monument for locals that we will all be proud of. I know that the slower lower's are a proud bunch now is our chance to act on it, or our inlet is gonna look like sh*t.

 

'your' inlet already looks like sh*t! Its so polluted with kooks it's pathetic (NSRI, SS is still hardcore). Plus where do you propose to get the money to pay for 'your' improvements? Sounds like someone else's money (aka taxes).

 

Ha better to utilize taxes to improve the land then pay taxes and have it go to a private entity with no mind for the public interest. Oh and your little (SS are still hardcore) shout out is stupa sweet, I bet you get big barrels at South Side cuz your hardcore. So pumpmaster I can't wait to see yah at dumps or on the jetty, you f***, you'll know who I am cuz I'll be pumpin past ya.

 

Nice reply douche bag. SS IS way more hardcore than NSRI.

 

No ****. Oh you think I don't ride SS! HA! Also I know where you ride and it is neither! So I'll see you at SS or your break or where ever and I will still be pumpin right past you. Capeche Douche bag.

 

Dude, come on now. That was the weakest comment I've ever seen on here. What are you even arguing here? Nothing in Delmarva is 'hardcore' and you embarrass everyone on this coast by claiming so. I thought you were older than that?

 

Just what we need on Rte. 1...MORE traffic...so they can generate MORE money...that's exactly what's wrong with this country...nobody's ever satisfied with what they have, they have to have MORE....How Lame...

 

aka pumpmaster, did you bother to read anything I responded with in previous comments or just respond with the same thing, that it creates jobs? Obviously not.

Yes the casino can create jobs, HOWEVER there are already 3 proposed sites in southern Delaware that offer so many more advantages that the IRI site can not. Go back & read it, I am not going to try & explain it to you again, seems pointless.

Actually, you live in NJ, so what do we care what you think. You have no idea what you are talking about or what is better for the area.
