Work on the permanent American Place Resort and Casino in Waukegan, which has been on hold since August of 2023, can resume after the Illinois Supreme Court put an end to litigation to which casino owner Full House Resorts was never a party.
As soon as Alex Stolyar, Full House’s senior vice president and chief development officer, learned of the court decision, he said in a text work on the permanent facility will restart as the company’s temporary American Place casino continues to operate on the permanent site.
“We can now get back to working with our architects and engineers to complete construction plans,” Stolyar said. “We will be working diligently to make sure we open by the current August, 2027, deadline for the temporary casino operations.”
