The $49 million Shorelines Casino Peterborough in Ontario, Canada is on track to open in late August or September, said project superintendent David Robb. Ground was broken last September. “I think people will really enjoy seeing this building when it’s completed, both inside and outside,” Robb said.
He noted the roof is nearly finished and significant exterior changes will be noticeable soon.
“We’ve got a little bit of roofing still to do and then we’ll be 100 per cent water tight. Interior finishes are well underway, especially up on the second floor and the front of the house at the main entrance, where we’re starting to put up all the walls. With the weather changing early next week, you’re going to see a lot of activity going on with the exterior side. Within the next three weeks, I think you’ll see this green turn to totally different colors.”
Robb said the former Peterborough Visitor’s Centre will be torn down for casino and hotel parking spaces.
The project has created 75 construction jobs and will employ 150 people when completed.
The new casino will offer 500 slot machines, 22 table games tables, a buffet restaurant and an a-la-carte menu restaurant.
