MGM officials: National Harbor’s casino construction is on track
Frigid conditions brought about by one of the coldest months in history haven’t stopped workers from pushing on with the construction as work on the development’s foundation is close to completion. MGM National Harbor President and CEO Lorenzo Creighton told the Washington Post that weather conditions have made it difficult to follow the timetable, but for the most part, workers were able to get through it.
Once the foundation on the 23-acre site is laid, development will continue at a rapid pace with the company expecting to have close to 1,000 workers working nearly around the clock by Memorial Day in order to meet its opening day target in the second half of next year.
Official sources stated, “People think casino and they think dealers, bartenders and waiters. But company-wide, we make 70 percent of revenues from non-gaming sources,” MGM spokesman Gordon M. Absher said. “So while yes, we are going to have a casino and we will need dealers, we are also going to need chefs, and accountants, and hotel front desk agents, and supervisors, and spa technicians and retail managers.”
