Preliminary plans to bring a casino resort to D’Iberville Mississippi began on Tuesday as city leaders met in a closed session and agreed to an arrangement that would allow developer Duane Lewis to take over property currently owned by the city.
“By the city granting them an option on city owned property which touches the water, it allows them to move forward to ultimately get their gaming license,” City Manager Michael Janus said.
State law requires those applying for a gaming license to control land that touches the water.
“The developer has six months to do his due diligence to continue to move forward with the gaming commission,” Janus said.
The agreement provides the developer approximately six acres from Fountain Avenue to the Jackson County line, and he is also looking to acquire additional land north of Racetrack Road to add to the casino project.
The city currently has four casino developments in the works on both side of I-10 in the initial stages of development.
City officials hope the partnership would grow the city, “We still want to rebuild our downtown, old town area where all the merchants started in this community, and that’s where D’Iberville started,” Mayor Rusty Quave said.
“The casino would be wonderful catalyst to spark interest and get people back downtown both for retail and social activities,” Janus said.
