Hotel Tower Worries Locals
As soon as the plan for expanding the location was announced in the public space, members of the community were quick to voice their concerns regarding its future operation and how it is going to fit with the existing infrastructure. The proposed hotel tower would rise above the casino venue with its six stories at Scenic Drive near Ocean Views.
During the meeting, individuals acquainted with the current situation expressed their position that the water system throughout the area might not be able to facilitate proper operation of the hotel venue. Another potential issue might involve the parking situation in the area, as the surging interest towards the area could oversaturate the region.
Among the arguments in support of the expansion, there was the notion that more than 50 people would have the chance to apply for a job position and be hired at the new hotel venue. Job positions would include managers, night managers, housekeepers, and maintenance staff. The Bureau of Indian Affairs opted for the public helping hand by individuals willing to provide their comments on the project.
