The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in Southern California have revealed detailed plans for a previously announced new gaming and entertainment development on about 13 acres in downtown Cathedral City.
Stone James, director of economic development for the city commented, “That plan has got about 500 slot machines, there will be about sixty-five thousand square foot, total casino, and then they’ve also got planned some additional mixed use, some retails sites, also part of the project that will total about sixty-thousand square feet. So, in total we’re going to have a hundred and twenty-five thousand square foot facility a stone’s throw from downtown.”
The initial development plans released last week include a casino, dining, retail, mixed use and tribal government offices.
The casino development is part of an overall redevelopment of the downtown that includes the refurbished Mary Pickford Theatre, the Downtown Amphitheater and Park, and the Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre.
