One of the city council members in Irving believes that the debate over casinos cannot continue in its current form.
The subject has been a hot topic of discussion ever since the city council was presented with a proposal in February to rezone several tracts of land to allow for gaming.
“Irving’s vision is for a premier development in PUD 6,” City Council Member Mark Cronenwett (D-5) told The Dallas Express.
But what does this mean?
“We need a development that will draw visitors while providing quality amenities for our residents and tax revenues for our city. Changes must be made to PUD 6 to allow for the possibility of such a development. The proposed changes provide roughly 4 million square feet of convention center, sports arena, hotel, and restaurants.
