Investors compensation plan fuels Cedar Rapids boutique casino bid
The GAMING Fund, led by Aspect Architecture and Hunter Companies, would reimburse Linn County referendum investors up to half of their initial stake, to a maximum of 50000 per investor, contingent on a Wild Rose Cedar Rapids license. The Cedar Rapids Development Group holds about 100 investors who invested near 10 million. The project calls for a 25000 square foot gaming floor with 600 to 700 slots and 15 to 20 tables, creating 200 to 225 jobs and 7 million in annual local economic impact.
