Proposal for Lake of the Ozarks Casino will Appear on the November Ballot
![](https://gamingamericas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/6.jpg)
Missourians will get to vote on whether to authorize a casino at the Lake of the Ozarks.
Backers of a casino in the popular tourist destination need to go to statewide voters to build the casino, because the Missouri Constitution only authorizes those gaming facilities on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft initially rejected putting the ballot item before voters, contending that the measure didn’t collect enough signatures in the required six out of eight congressional districts. Ashcroft found that the plan did receive the necessary signatures in five districts but fell short in Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District.
Cole County Judge Daniel Green ruled on Friday that proponents of the casino ballot item did actually gather enough signatures in the 2nd District, which encompasses parts of St. Louis, St. Charles and Warren counties, and all of Franklin County. He then ordered Ashcroft to place the proposal on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Ashcroft spokesman JoDonn Chaney said the GOP statewide official does not plan on appealing Green’s ruling.
“During the initiative petition review process local election authorities were tasked with checking well over 1 million signatures,” Chaney said in an email. “From their reporting, the secretary of state’s office determined the Osage River Gaming petition was just short of the required signature count for ballot certification. After a challenge by the petitioner it was determined that enough additional signatures could be verified to place the petition on the November ballot.”
Backers of the plan to build the Lake of the Ozarks casino say the facility will spur 500 construction jobs and create 700 to 800 permanent jobs. State revenue from the casino would go toward education programs, with a specific emphasis on early child literacy efforts.
Missourians are also to vote on a measure legalizing sports betting, though opponents of that proposal filed a lawsuit contending that it didn’t get enough signatures in six out of eight districts.

![Related Companies and Wynn Resorts Unveil New Details on the Next Phase of Hudson Yards](https://gamingamericas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Related_Companies_The_Next_Phase_of_Hudson_Yards.jpg)
Related Companies/Oxford Properties Group and Wynn Resorts revealed new project details for the next phase of Hudson Yards, including new renderings and animations as well as additional testimonials of support. The $12 Billion total project proposal to build Hudson Yards West on top of the undeveloped western rail yards, is a once-in-a-generation commitment that, if approved by City and State officials, would provide significant quality-of-life improvements for the neighborhood and enormous economic opportunity for the entire city, including:
• Wynn New York city, a world-class resort that creates 5000 permanent union careers
• 35,000 union construction jobs during development
• A 5.6-acre public park, comparable in size to Bryant Park
• 1500 new housing units, including 324 affordable apartments
• A new public K-8 school
• A neighborhood-focused traffic, safety, and sanitation plan
• Support for local community organizations
The centerpiece of the development is Hudson Green, a new a 5.6-acre public green park designed by the award-winning teams of Hollander Design and Sasaki, as part of a master plan designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). With stunning views of the Hudson River, this new public park creates an oasis of open lawns, gardens, playscapes, and groves that connect the West Side. Comparable in size to Bryant Park, Hudson Green will feature a dog run, over 300 trees, 500 shrubs, flower beds and various native plantings throughout the active landscape. The architecture and design of the resort is being led by Wynn Design and Develop, Wynn Resorts in-house team of designers, architects and creatives.
The new architectural renderings and video animation allow the public to envision how the development will fit into the context of the overall neighborhood, including Hudson Yards and the Javits Center, as well as how the new park will connect to both the High Line and Hudson River Park. As longtime supporters of both parks, Related Companies made several amendments to the proposal to ensure seamless public access points and create better sightlines and interfaces.
“The next phase of Hudson Yards is a $12B total project investment in New York’s future that, if approved by City and State officials, will create tens of thousands of jobs, 1,500 units of housing including hundreds of new affordable apartments, and billions in much-needed revenue for the City and State. At the center of it all is Hudson Green, a 5.6-acre rolling green park with incredible river vistas, hundreds of trees for hot summer days, gardens, a playground and a dog park. We truly believe it will be an oasis that becomes the new calling card of the neighborhood. In the months ahead, we look forward to sharing more details of the extensive, long-term economic and community benefits our vision for Hudson Yards and Wynn New York City will bring to New York,” said Jeff T. Blau, CEO of Related Companies.
Wynn New York City will anchor the development, completing a decades-long revitalization of Manhattan’s West Side. This new vision for Hudson Yards West adheres to the approved uses in the 2009 zoning, but has also evolved to reflect the city’s current landscape and economic infrastructure needs. Wynn New York City is the economic engine supporting the development and will create careers for thousands of New Yorkers while offering significant benefits to all sectors of the community.
“It’s easy for leaders to talk about wanting to create jobs and invest in the economy and infrastructure, but our proposal to develop Hudson Yards West would actually do it, which is why it continues to garner important support from unions, trade organizations and small businesses. Finishing the undeveloped yards will not only create 35,000 unionized construction jobs during development, but 5,000 permanent union careers in the resort, which is the economic engine that supports all of these wonderful community benefits, including the affordable housing, public park and transportation improvements,” said Bruce A. Beal Jr., President of Related Companies.
