If successful, it would mean the relocation of the current slot machine facility located at Kawartha Downs.
"We are excited about the prospect of a Shorelines gaming operation being developed in the City of Peterborough, but we recognize that there are a series of approvals necessary from the City, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and the Government of Ontario, before we can proceed," said Andy LaCroix, Executive Director, Ontario Operations, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation. "OGELP will strive to be an employer of choice and an economic contributor focused on being an active community participant, should we receive all necessary approvals," added LaCroix.
The new Shorelines gaming property, proposed for 1400 Crawford Drive, would be named Shorelines Casino Peterborough and would feature a series of non-gaming amenities to complement a gaming floor comprised of slot machines and table games.
The formal process with the City of Peterborough will commence in accordance with the City's official zoning and bylaw procedures.
