BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — City planners have recommended a two-year extension for developers of the Broadwater Casino property in Biloxi.
The city council must approved the extension.
Roy Anderson III and W.C. "Cotton" Fore bought the 266-acre site of the former President Casino in 2005, shortly before Hurricane Katrina.
Anderson tells The Sun Herald that they had Foxwood Casinos under contract for more than a year before the casino operator walked away from their option in the uncertain post-Katrina market.
The partners plan a mixed-use casino resort with a marina, entertainment district, convention hotel, retail and a signature golf course on the old Broadwater Hotel property off U.S. Highway 90.
