The move is the last step in a 14-month process that started in 2007 when six developers submitted seven casino proposals to government officials.
A little over a month ago, the Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board selected the Hard Rock proposal over the two other finalists – Edwardsville’s Golden Gaming and Kansas City, Kan.’s Legends Sun.
After the review board finished its work in September, other consultants and KRGC staff have been reading through dossiers on the financial backgrounds of the applicants associated with the proposals selected by the board.
A KRGC spokesman said the efforts had been going well and expected that they would be complete before Friday's meeting.
The gaming landscape since that September meeting has changed a bit, with International Speedway Corporation, which operates NASCAR racetracks throughout the country, is bolstering its stake in the enterprise.
ISC officials have said they remain enthused about the Hard Rock project, a commitment shared by officials with the other partner in the project, the Cordish Company.
The Hard Rock proposal calls for the construction and summer 2009 opening of an interim casino. These plans were put in place to allow the state – and the two partners in the project – to start making money sooner.
Construction plans related to the temporary building have to be approved by UG planning officials.
