The City of Peoria is looking to take its first official steps toward luring Boyd Gaming’s local casino from its current East Peoria riverboat to a land-based facility within the city.
The City Council on Tuesday will vote on a two-part agenda item to approve agreements with an investment banking consultant and a legal services firm for the purpose of pursuing a casino in Peoria.
“We are looking at a feasibility study, so we want to bring in a financial advisor to assist us with understanding what the investment will look like and some more the financial aspects of it, if a casino came to the city,” said Assistant City Manager Kimberly Richardson.
