PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — The Pittsburg City Commission is willing to gamble on a proposal for a $62 million casino complex that could bring 300 jobs to the southeast Kansas community. Yesterday (TUE), the commission unanimously supported a proposal from JNB Gaming to build a casino, hotel and restaurant complex on land recently annexed by the city. JNB Gaming's proposal, called the Kansas Crossing Casino & Hotel, is one of three proposals for a southeast Kansas casino. Applications for all the proposals are due Friday. The developer said their proposal could generate $1.2 million in revenues a year, which would be divided between the city, Crawford and Cherokee counties. Commissioners noted the developer is endorsed by Mulvane officials. JNB built a similar project near Mulvane seven years ago.
