Penn National Gaming Inc. (PENN) said that it has completed the purchase of 123 acres at the site of the former General Motors/Delphi Automotive plant located on the west side of Columbus on Georgesville Road near the intersection of West Broad Street.
The brownfield site is the alternate location for the development of the company's planned development of the Hollywood Casino Columbus, which is now budgeted at about $400 million.
Penn National agreed to seek a state constitutional amendment to relocate the authorized Columbus casino to the former Delphi Automotive plant, pending voter approval on the May 4 statewide ballot.
Hollywood Casino Columbus, which is expected to open in the second half of 2012, will be a 180,000 square foot casino with up to 4,000 slot machines at opening, up to 100 table games and 25 poker tables, a 4,000 space parking garage, plus food and beverage outlets and entertainment lounge.
