Biloxi Capital will wait at least another month to learn if it can build a casino in east Biloxi after the Mississippi Gaming Commission again tabled site approval.
The meeting was moved to Biloxi instead of Jackson, which gave the mayor, councilmen and others the opportunity to encourage the commissioners to vote in favor of granting site approval.
Biloxi Capital proposes building a casino and conference center north of U.S. 90 near Harrah’s Gulf Coast. The company spent $40 million for the land 15 or more years ago, said their attorney Michael Cavanaugh. Executive director Jay McDaniel said he didn’t have a recommendation yet whether to grant site approval, given the comments made during the meeting and the lengthy report submitted by the Mississippi Gaming and Hospitality Association against site approval.
